    Geneva, Michele and Jason,So sorry for your loss; I have so many wonderful memories of times spent at the Gould house. Dr. Gould and Geneva never seemed to tire of us running in and out and didn't seem to notice our flimsy 'made up reasons' for contantly needing the car, you just handed over the keys and sent Jason with us! Dr. Gould wanted everyone to be as completely happy as he was, and you are the people who brought that utter, total happiness to him. The smile on his face was genuine. I will be thinking of you in the days ahead. I regret I could not be with you for the service.

    Michele and family so sorry for your loss. Doc Gould was always a joy to be around. He would always joke and kid with us guys when we worked at Trumann Drug. I can't remember ever seeing him unhappy. He always carried a smile and was such a happy person. Know that you are in our prayers.

    Dear Geneva and Family, We were so sad to hear that Dr. Gould passed away. He was a friendly and good community fixture for many generations of Trumann people. I can shut my eyes and see his smile and hear his laugh. I will always remember him as one of the happiest people I ever knew. When Bill, Addie and her children lived next door, there was some life long memories made then. Addie tells stories often of those happy days gone by. Kenny and I have great stories of him as well. We were sad that she wasn't up to the trip this week to attend the services, but her heath conditions have their good and bad days. Erwin will be missed by so many and for years to come he will be remembered fondly. Addie and Hendrix Family
