"Love and Prayers are extended to the Meyer family. Your mother and my mother, Alice Havekost were very good friends through Church and Extension Club. Our families have been friends through the years growing up in the farming neighborhood north of Hooper. May the Lord bless you with the peace and comfort only He can give, and may it comfort us to know our loved ones are safe in the arms of the Savior in that glorious place called heaven. Sincerely, Karen (Havekost) Licht"
