I just want to send my condolences to the entire family. I will not be able to make it up to the service and apologize for that. Just want to know that my thoughts are with you at this time.

We are sorry for your loss, Homer was a good friend to Ryan and I. He never once minded all the questions we asked him about family history, and the fun things him and Dad would do. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

With love and thoughts,

Sincerely,

Ryan and Kim Bean, and family
