To the family:
I have great memories of your family, and am so sorry to hear the sad news.
We were in their home many times as we were growing up in the 1950's. Mention was often made of the Hutcheson family in our home. My thoughts are with you all at this time of grief, and yet a time of rejoicing as well because of the good man that he was. We were all influenced by his life.
My heart goes out to all the family of Bob and Wanda. Knowing them all my life they touched the hearts of many and especially mine.
Rick, Portia, and family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss and pray for healing of your hearts during this time of loss and sorrow. May God bless each one of you!
I have lots of good memories from our younger days. You all are in our prayers!
Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.
Our regards to the family.
