Dear Barb, Lynn and family: I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing you and your dad for 35 years. I remember your beautiful home, how welcome I always felt by your mom and dad, and it was my pleasure to visit with your dad several times at the Masonic home when I was there for meetings, I had the pleasure of having lunch with him and seeing his paintings when I visited him. Both times, he had someone take our picture together. The last time I was there, he was at a doctor appointment, so we missed each other. He sent me a lovely flower picture that he had in his collection, one of a flower bouquet in a glass, and I shall think of him every time I look at it. He always said to me, " Thanks for being Barb's friend"...well, it is a pleasure to know and be a friend to not just Barb, but Sterling, Jean, and Lynn, too. God Bless, and thank God for a man like Sterling in all of our lives. Love, Carey
