Dear Susan, my prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I will always have fond memories of visiting with ND at Arbor Ridge; he was a fine man who loved his family very much.

Dear Susan, You already know how I felt about your Dad. He was truly a well loved and well respected man. I will miss him and his smile. I will never forget the day Carolina was playing and I was literally running up and down the halls...he yelled at me from the sunroom and said "I need a nurse..help!" As I went flying in there, he winked and said, "thought you might want to catch a glimpse of the score!". What a character!!! As I told you and him, you will always have me if you need to talk. May God Bless You.

Dear Susan, we will be praying for you during this sad time. N.D. was a wonderful person and our lives were enriched by having the priviledge of knowing him. He was a pillar of strength to me while I served as Chairman of the Board at 1st Christian Church. He will be remembered fondly and we would like for you to know that we will be thinking of you with warm regards. Sincerely, Doug and Doris Keaton

Dear Susan, we were so sorry to hear of the passing of ND. He was a faithful church member in so many ways. He put up with Patricia and me playing in the house and basement for years. In many ways he was a wonderful mentor to all the neighborhood kids. He will be missed. You are in our prayers.
