Kathy Bowman says
So sorry, Sally and kids. I’m remembering all the fun times we had playing cards, hunting, sharing meals, making candy with LaRue at Christmas (which Dallas & Brian would eat immediately). You all were a big part of that time in my life. May Dallas Rest In Peace.
ROBERT HUNSAKER says

May Heavenly Father bless all of you during this trying time. May the spirit bring to you remembrances of all good things past of such a strong husband and father. My prayers and blessings to each of you for all the friendship you have provided me in my life. LOVE you Kort.
