"To David and Cathy, It was a special time and place to grow up in the Franklin school district when we were kids. I have very fond memories of your parents from that time and beyond. I know they were parents to two of the finest brothers and sisters that I have known. We can take solace in the reunion of your Mother with your Father in the spiritual world and I am sure your faith will be a comfort to both of you in this time of sorrow. For all of Lorell's extended family and friends my sincere condolences. Most Respectfully, Larry Daniels"

"Cathy & David and families; I'm sorry to hear of your Mother's passing, both she and your Dad we great, positive role parents to have in our neighborhood as we grew up. I have enjoyed communicating a few time with Lorell on some Keefer family information and her mind was always sharp and correct, which helped tremedously when I was the TR PastTimes columnist. Again, my thoughts are with you all. Due to the COVID-19 precautions and that I'm immune suppressed from my kidney transplant, I'll be thinking of you from home. Stay well and in touch..."
