    Shelly and Kelly, I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, but we remember the Staus family when they first came to town and lived on Pennsylvania Street. We send our heartfelt sympathy to both of you in the loss of your dad. He will be sorely missed. Ed and Carol, we think of you at this time, too. Love and prayers.
