Fred and Mary, I can't tell you how my heart hurts for your loss. I lost my father when I was 14, my sister was killed when I was 16. Nobody knows this pain unless they experience it. I only wish you did not have to. You are in my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers. Mom asked I send her heartfelt condolences as well. I wish their were magic words I, or anyone could say to make your pain disappear. Sadly there are none. I am so sorry. Your friend, Yolanda Queen Jackson, Ohio

Roger, Jerry, Fred and families. Our sympathy, our love and hearts are with you at this time of indescribable loss. My sister Mary Logue called to let me know. Though I love her calls, I really hated her news. Your Mom was one of Gods really good ones( as was your dad ). She could always make one laugh and lift anyones spirits. You, your families, your friends and anyone who knew her were truly blessed. She always had a smile for everyone she met; She was rare and very special. She will sincerely be missed. Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Carolyan and Melvin Owens.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with You all. Our girls, dearly loved Hayes and Esta, Thinking the World of them, like no one else.We all are heartbroken, but have fond memories to hold and share with others, of how great they were. So we, as many others, share your loss and vision them in Heaven with smiles, setting together, looking over all us.I had a Lady to have prayer with me at the time of the fire, not knowing then, if Esta had gotten out or not and during her prayer. She prayed that God would have his Angels grasp her in their arms to feel no pain and find peace where she is. I was so grateful, it helped to calm me, as I felt God heard her prayer. We've always been Blessed with good friends, a Precious Gift from God. Friends like you all. May God help each and everyone of You through this trying time of your lives. Our Deepest Sympathy, Gearld and Wanda

Roger,Jerry,and Fred I'm so sorry about your loss of your mother Esta. She made me feel like I was one of her own boys everytime I ever ate at the house(hundreds of times) or stayed over night. Esta and Hayes always kept and eye on me when I worked out there or around there.Esta's house was ALWAYS A HOUSE OF LOVE and that is one memory that I'll never forget. I feel ashamed that I haven't kept in closer contact with everyone but my prayers and love go out to each of you at this time. I realize now how short life is and how precious freindships are. I have never forgotten the Ice skating,watching football, basketball games,4-H camps, and just supporting everyone with a great smile.One final story before I close. Esta was always trying to get me to try new things. She knew Fred's showing career was coming to and end. So she dared me to show a Jersey. Doc.Edmiston heard about it and sold me his old Jersey cow called Tina (got last). But the way Esta and Hayes treated me you would have thought I'd Won!! Thanks for all your love and friendship,God Bless all of you Bill
