""Uncle Chick"--as we used to call him--was my favorite uncle. (And that was not lessened ONE BIT by the fact that he was our only uncle!) I have many fond memories of him from when I was a child, when our family would visit Uncle Chick and Aunt Marie's family. These were wonderful wonderful folks-- and my heart goes out to Gary, Dave and Gregg and their families. All good wishes and hugs from me and my family too."

"We were sorry to hear of Mr. Lund's passing and know that you will miss him greatly. We haden't seen him for some time, but when we had in years past, he was such a pleasant and cheerful person, visiting with him was a joy. We trust that our God will hold and comfort you through this time, strengthening your faith and the hope in that wonderful reunion with Him in eternity. We remember you in our prayers."
