chuck, sorry to hear of your loss. my thoughts and prayers are with you. sincerely, jerry hamill
Dear Jim,Cindy,Chuck and Kathy and family. My deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to everyone. Virginia was a wonderful woman that I respected and loved dearly. I will never forget her or your Dad,Chester,for all their kindness and generosity. I still have the handkerchief she gave me on Prom night. I count myself lucky to have been a part of the Gunion family during those important young years. I am sorry that I wasn’t able to come to her service, but you all are in my heart and prayers. Fondly, Coralee
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I worked for Tom, her son at Tinker AFB for eight years. I really miss him. At least its a sense of peace knowing both of them are in a better place. May God bless
