Thinking about you, and know that your wonderful memories of how he blessed your lives will see you through.
To the family of Arthur,
Art was a very friendly person to this Native American. I felt a lot of love from him, and always enjoyed greeting him at Church on Sundays. I now go to Ronan LDS meetings. But I always enjoyed my small chats to this fine brother and friend. I feel he has had a good journey here in mortality. May all of those in his family circle be comforted by the Great Spirit, and I extend my love to all of you at this time.

Amelia and Family,
Art. What a wonderful life story that will be told for generations to come! His funny bone was definitely passed down to his children and grandchildren. He will be remembered not only for his humor but for his stories about family and a life well lived.
Wishing you strength in this difficult time.

Dear Grandma,
I am so glad to see such a beautiful picture of Grandpa and such a lovely tribute to a very sweet man.
We will miss him very very much.
I am very glad I was able to see you and Grandpa in October.
May Mary, Christ, and God protect and comfort you.
Love,

Dear Amelia,
I have thought of you, Janet and Paul many times lately and wondered how you have been. What a fantastic picture of Art. I will always remember his jolly disposition and wonderful smile. Art lived a full rich life and blessed a lot of people like me who had the privilege of knowing him.
Much love to you and all of your family,
Ann
