Dear Aunt Joann and family, we join you in the sorrow of Uncle Leroy's passing. It saddens us deeply that Grandpa and Grandma Tippy and all their children are gone; however, what a homecoming it must have been yesterday. I can only imagine the tears of joy as they are all once again together.

You all are in our thoughts and prayers but we pray that our Heavenly Father grants you peace and comfort and the ability to rejoice in the memories.

Our love, Eric and Elaine
