I read about Mr. Aplin's death in the Des Moines Register on Saturday, the 29th of September. Mr. Aplin was a good man and both he and Mrs. Aplin were people who were respected and deserved that respect.
May the passage of time bring peace to his family and may their memories comfort them.
Sincerely,
Steve Schaaf

We would like to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. You will in our thoughts and prayers.
Aplin Family, you are in my thoughts at this time of your dad's passing. Your dad and I swam at the YMCA for many years. We always had a lot to talk about. Being masonic brothers held a common bond for us. I will always consider him a great friend. Here is a poem that I like that I hope will ease your sorry.
A Note From Heaven,
If I could write from Heaven,
This is what I'd say,
Please don't miss me too much,
I'm with you throughout your day
You may not see or hear me,
But if you're quiet and still,
You may just feel my presence;
Because, in Heaven, there is free will.
Don't worry for the day,
It will come and go as planned,
Enjoy each moment you are given,
Keep worry from your hand,
Keep sorrow to a minimum;
For if heaven you could see,
You'd know I'm safe and happy,
I did not cease to be.
Moments in time are brief,
Until we'll be together again,
As Eternity last forever,
Our lives, they have no end.
