In Loving Memory
Dear Marie, I was just thinking about your Dad recently. What a wonderfull man. My wife Alice and I and our children have been living out side the country for many uears. Several times during trips back home we would go and visit your dad at his condo at brickyard. He always welcomed us, and spent time visiting with us. Your momand dad were both wonderfull people. I miss them.

Dear family of Brent Welsh Horton: Brent was my father. David Hartwell Welsh's nephew, and my cousin. I vaguely remember him, Sherm, & Ken when they visited Aunt Agnes in Peoa decades ago. Please accept my sympathy at Brent's passing. At age 82, I, too, can see the dark at the end of the tunnel, but it has been a great life, and I am certain that Brent had a great life too. We have lost contact with our Horton cousins, too bad. My best wishes to everyone, Stan Welsh (129 North 1000 East, Orem, Utah 84091).
