I appreciate the many late hours we've shared around the work-place...running into each other, as we pass on our various crossing paths in the building. - Rob Cartwright"

"Praying for the family as you mourn the loss of such a dear member of your family. I treasure the memories I have with her when our kids were younger. Kim needed another player on the softball team she coached when Kelly and Sarah were in elementary school. Their hall hats were bigger than our girls. Praying for you all as you grieve. Susan Nace"
