    • Dear Deborah and friends and the Museum,

      Thank you very much for taking the time to both express condolences and visit the funeral home. Momma and Daddy both enjoyed volunteering at the museum. Daddy, as you all know, loved to share his love of dinosaurs. Momma loved kids and would teach anything she would learn what ever she had to to teach or work with children.

      As her daughter we were showered with her love of learning our entire lives. As adults we were honored to have them both find a ‘home’ at the museum.

      Thank you so much for loving them both for who they were in their own uniqueness.
