To all of the Hough family, The arrangements you made for John were very very nice, his funeral was beautiful and had his touches all over it. I am sure he was dancing in Heaven watching and hearing his music. Now the really difficult part starts, going on without him. I will keep you all in prayer and want you all to know Rich & I love you like family. Make John proud. Love to all Sue & Rich Friis

I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I did not know him, but I know from the quality of daughters he helped raise that he must have been an exceptional man. Perhaps you remember your Spanish teacher? With fond regards, Susan Elder
