“ Loyd,
Emily and I share our loving concern with you and your family at the passing of our beloved sister and sister-in-law Dee.
We held you and Dee, along with your family, in our daily noontime devotional and prayers in the days preceding Dee's passing.
It was sad to hear of her lingering in bed for so long, prior to her passing.
I have so many precious memories of both you and Dee in our home at Newton, Kansas during my growing up days.
And I recall with fondness my visits in your home in Wichita while you lived there.
Neither Emily nor I travel much anymore. But be assured we will be thinking about Dee and her home-going when you gather there at the cemetery for her service this coming Saturday.
Please let us know if you are creating any kind of memorial to her remembrance. We'd love to make a contribution to it.
Be strong. Trust in God's love and resurrection promise. And I hope you will find solace in a place of regular worship and allow a church family to walk with you through your sorrow.
Love,
Richard and Emily Guentert ”
