Barbara & Glenda and family. Please accept my sympathies on the passing of your father. Boone was such a special part of our family; and I will miss him so much. Although I didn't get to see him much these past years, he has a special place in my heart from all the summers at the farm - teaching me to milk a cow and watching out for me when I would run off. May his spirit fly high to the Lord and watch over us from a peaceful place. My prayers for you all at this time. Love Melissa Dagenhart

Dearest Glenda and Family:
Reading of your fathers obituary filled me with sadness at such a loss, and with joy in knowing that your father lived in interesting times. As a dairy farmer, I'm sure he was a man who felt great respect and protectiveness for the land and it's creatures. Definitely an early riser and hard worker, his life was surely filled with the wonder of nature and and bounty of his labor.
That he served his country during wartime makes him one of the phenominal generation who respected and served his country with conviction and bravery.
His passing marks a significant loss to each of his family and friends, but also to a country who shall not look upon his like again.
My deepest sympathies extend to you and your family as your father makes his journey home. My arms are around you, just as your mothers are outstretched to embrace him once again. Andrea
