Dear Jim and family
Your mother was such a nice lady. I remeber her as a nice neighbor, as I lived around the corner, fourth and Buffalo Street. She was also a patient of John Emerson, MD. I worked many years for him and she and I would have a nice visit. I’m in Florida for the winter. You may know, my husband, Tom past away Sept.23.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely
Meredith Reagle Keverline
So sorry to hear of Aunt Treva’s passing. I only talked to her a couple of times in the late 80’s when my dad (Sam Golden) learned he had cancer. I don’t understand how families drift so far apart, she and I only lived a few miles from each other. To her family, I send you my deepest sympathy and wish I could have known you all.
David and Jim,
My sincere condolences to you at this time. I have many, many fond memories of Treva and the many evenings playing cards and making fudge at the house on 4th St. so very long ago.
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one.
Our prayers are with the family.
Sheryl and Jim and family,
Paul and I will have your family in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I carry so many fond memories of you two from our time together through bible study. God bless you both.
Love,
June & Paul
Jim & Sheryl, My prayers are with you & your family. Love to you all, Patti Phillips

I would like to send my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I only talked to Aunt Treva a couple times in the Mid-Late 80’s when I was a young kid. From what I remember, she was a very nice lady.
