Condolence Book
"I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the Trimble and Stephens families. My father, Ernie Butler, worked with and was friends with Mr. and Mrs. Trimble and always spoke so highly of both of them. She was a great lady and will be missed by all."

"Stephens and Trimble Family,
On behalf of the classmates of the senior class of 1946 at NLRHS, let me extend our greatest symphathy. Everyone liked Frances Jane.
In 1945 her homeroom won the contest for selling the most war bonds. I have homeroom class picture of Frances holding a sign that read $32,000. I am sure that most of that money came from the generosity and partiotism of the Stephens family.
Herman Shirley,
Classmate
