Dear Dick and Diane,
We are sorry to learn of Isabelle\’s passing; she is a great lady.
Isabelle and Ellsie were a terrific looking couple and were good people; when Mom
lived out on the farm, they stopped and picked her up for prayer meeting at Blissville.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Roger and Carolyn Kelly

Richard and Diane,
Although you don\’t know me, I knew your father and mother and want to express my condolence to you and your extended family. I and my staff remember Isabel and Ernie from their years at Fitness Forum before your Dad passed away. They were such a delight to us. We enjoyed their conversation and fellowship with the group of seniors committed to exercise and a healthy lifestyle. I was saddened by the notice of Isabel\’s passing, but realize also she lived a long life and left a positive impression on me the few years I knew her.
