My thoughts are with all of you. I have wonderful memories of family gatherings - filled with laughter and mosquitoes! As the youngest of the cousins, I was always halfway between their kids and the parents, and valued feeling like I was part of both worlds. Love to you all.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Guy and happy for the time's that I spent with him and Rosemary. The two of them were a blessing to know and I feel so blessed to have spent the latter part of " Their Golden Years" with them, and not have to watch them suffer.

I'm so sorry for your loss but grateful for the loving impact Uncle Guy had and still has on everyone he's touched, moved, encouraged, and inspired. He always made me this awkward, goofy kid feel welcomed. He had a gift for breaking through the walls people put up to touch the heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you...

Guy and I worked for Equitable together until he retired. I have only seem him periodically since then. Larry Heath was always good about bring Guy to the golf tournament. He always held on to his sharp edge, and it was always good to see him. When I got the word of his passing, we were returning from Atlanta and were stuck in a traffic jam in Charlotte. John Nee was good to call me, since we had not been home to see the obit. Otherwise I would have been there to pay my respects. We always had a great relationship, although I can't say that about some of the folks we dealt with out of the Charlotte office. I am just remembering that we were away when Rosemary died. What a nice understanding lady she was. My thoughts have been for the family this week. May God bless and be kind to each of you. Ed Sigmon
