Sorry for your loss.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My love goes out to you during this very difficult time.  I am so thankful that I was able to visit with Uncle Owen in October.

Dear Jane Joanne Michael & Sharon I am so sorry for your loss of your Husband (Jane) and your father. Whenever I talked with Owen his face would always light up when he talked about Jane or his children or grandchildren. He was a very giving person as he was with me and Chris. He served his country well and his family great. I'm a better person from knowing Owen the short time that I did, he was so proud of his family

sincerly
Glenn Hostetter
