    To Bonnie..Michelle, Carrie,and Laura,
    Please know that I loved my brother very much although I never told him until this past year. We became closer then and talked about growing up and our brothers and sisters. I am proud of him and his family. He loved all of you very much.
    I will miss talking to Michael as I did with Olson.
    I am sorry we won’t be able to come up for the funeral. I also wish we could have been there to talk to Michael.
    One thing that makes me happy is that he is in heaven. Bless his heart.
    Please keep in touch. It has been a pleasure to see pictures of Michael and his beautiful family. God Bless you all.
    Love to all
    Mollie

    You have our most sincere sympathy in the passing of your father. Losing someone dear near the holidays is very difficult. Be blessed with the knowledge that he is as peace with the Lord.

    Bonnie,

    I was nine when you married Uncle Mike. You both made me feel so special when you allowed me to sign your marriage certificate along side dad and mom. That special moment you allowed me to share brings tears to my eyes knowing how much you loved each other. Thank you for making Uncle Mike a very happy man. I am sorry that you, your children, and grandchildren have lost him. Please remember to take care of yourself during this heartbreaking time. God Bless all of you.

    Love,
    Tammy McFarland – Lemon
