  14. Vonda and family,

    I was really sorry to hear about Art’s passing. I know it was much quicker than he anticipated, but in some ways that may have been a blessing and at least he had his loved ones with him. He will certainly be missed by all his friends in the train club. I won’t be able to make the services today, but my thoughts and prayers will be with you.
