I just want to say that Lyle had the biggest heart and was such a great role model to me and many others. He was one of God disciples and touched many lives. I may have moved away from Blandford St. but Lyle never left my heart. Thank you and continue to look down upon us...I still need some guidance.

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. When Dusty called me to let me know I said one thing for sure We know he is in a better place. I never saw your dad without a smile on his face. I live in Battle Creek now but was visiting home last fall and sitting at Mr. Burger. Your dad was going around pouring coffee for all us seniors...I said "Lyle to you remember me....he says I sure do!" We caught up on old times, Dusty and his kids and he said he was getting ready to leave for Florida. We discovered we only were 30 miles from him; made plans to go visit while he was down there....sorry now we didn't hook up. Your dad was a beacon for Dusty long before I moved onto Burlingame. I am sure you have many wonderful memories shared by your dad. Hold fast to each and everyone of them. God Bless you and may you take comfort in knowing he is at peace and will be waiting at heavens gates. Sincerely Norma
