I received my 170 News today in the mail. As always it becomes a highlight for the day....I found myself going back to page 3 where there is a short obit for Cleo and John. I had only briefly met Cleo and never knew John at all, but yet something kept drawing me back to this page and what I think it was is the picture on the top of the page with the 5 young children under a 170......it is as if they were saying "we will carry on John, we will carry on Cleo" It is always so hard to say goodbye to love ones and friends but it was rather fitting that the next generation is there to "Carry On" ...God Bless Cleo, John...... and the children.

Re: 4th Quarter 170 News
That is an excellent observation W.
Most folks won't know this but I've been working with Jan producing our printing publications. The page that originally arrived at my computer for review did not have Cleo's notice because he had not passed at that time. But I immediately new that Jan had chosen an extremely appropriate photo to accompany her blurb on the same page as John's obit. When Cleo died and I had to find a way to include his notice I was determined to keep the photo and an glad I was successful. I'm happy you liked it.
