Arthur is finally with his wife Lillie after one year one day less than a month. Arthur and Lillie can now start a new and perfect life together because both of them are better and in Gods hands.

"Burt, Norma, Miles & family, We were so sorry to hear of Uncle Art''s death, and even though we can''t be with you, our thoughts & prayers are with you all. I don''t remember much about our trip to Indiana when I was a little girl, but I remember once when Aunt Lill & Uncle Art came to stay with us; Aunt Lill and Mama were in the kitchen and Aunt Lill was pounding tenderloin with a coke bottle when we heard this racket outside. All of us, except for Uncle Art ~ he was watching TV, commenting on all the commercials ~ went into the front yard and LifeFlight was landing in the middle of the road!! When we came back inside and told him what happened, he said, "things like that always seem to happen when we visit Joe & Marie!" I bet Aunt Lill and Mama are both glad to see him, but I don''t know if he''ll have a TV to watch and Lord knows he won''t get a word in edgeways!! We love you and are thinking of you all. Michael, Leslie, Dani & Mikayla"
