I am thankful that you and your brothers were able to be present and love your Dad up until his life here ended. I too have a lost a Dad — it is always much too soon. Please remember all those things that he taught you along the way and cherish those moments that you shared. Some day when it is less painful, I would like for you to tell me a little about the man who gave you life. I will pray for you and your family each day this week. Donna

May this week be a time of celebration of your Dad’s life and may the reconnection with family and friends bring back many fond memories of times the two of you spent together. I trust that you will know the Peace and Comfort that only the presence of Christ can bring to your heart.

Dear Aunt Ann, Tom, Tim, Jim and Family,
We are deeply saddened for your loss. Dave and I feel fortunate that we were able to visit a couple of weeks ago. Uncle Ches loved all of you very much and told me, “We raised three great boys.” He was so proud of you. I pulled up a chair at his bedside and enjoyed listening to his stories of Riverview Park, his time in the service, and trips he had taken around the world. He told me how much he loved Aunt Ann and all of you. “I had a wonderful life,” he said.
May you find peace in knowing how much he loved you. We will miss Uncle Ches, his stories and great sense of humor. May the love surrounding you and the treasured memories you hold in your heart bring you comfort at this difficult time.
With Love and HUGS, Kathy, Dave and Andy
