God saw you getting tired
A cure was not meant to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come with me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Your tender hands at rest
God took you home to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Proud Grandpa with grandaughter Marisa Angelina

Dear Bridget,
A father's Love is the kind of love that last... the kind that reaches across time.. the kind that keeps you forever close in spirit.
We know these next few months will be hard for you, it is going to take a while before the pain of his passing is going to get better. Talk about him, all the special times the two of you shared.
We love you Mom and Dad Welter

Bob,
All I have to do is look in your eyes and know how much you are hurting. We all miss him, more and more everyday. I love you and I am here for you, Ashley and Bobby Always Deb
Bridget,
I am so glad you were here for the summer and spent some alone time with your dad. I know how much he loved you just by looking at the smile on his face everytime you came home. I guess the saying "daddy's little girl" really is special. You were very lucky, you didn't have to share him, I have 3 sisters. Remember I love you, and I miss you. I am only a phone call away, anyday, anytime, always.Debbie
Andy,
Your father's very proud of you. I have to say I didn't think you had it in you to make that speech, but you spoke from your heart and spoke for your sister when she couldn't. You did a great job, for a great dad.Love Debbie
Connor,Caitlin,Shannon.Andy and Danny,
Always remember what a great grandpa you had and how very much he loved and was proud of each and everyone of you.
Debbie
August 26, 2008
John,
You were your mom and dad's rock right to the end. Your dad knew you could handle it and he depended on your strength and love not only to take care of him but your mom too.
Marilyn,
You are such a wonderful, generous, caring person. It's just your nature. I could go on forever, and I mean that literally with all my heart, about all the things you did for Andy, MaryAnn, the entire family. You are "One of a Kind ". It meant alot to everyone knowing you were taking care of him. especially MaryAnn. I don't think she would have it through this without you. Thank You!
Marisa,
I thank God for you everyday. You brought happiness to so many people at such a very sad time . You put a smile on so many faces, just by being there: especially grandpa's. Your mom and dad deserve the best and baby girl, "You are it ". Always remember Grandpa loved you so much and grandma will tell you all about him, we all will.
Debbie
August 26, 2008
MaryAnn,
Andy and you are more than just in-laws to me,you no how I feel. We all Love Andy and miss him so much it hurts, alot. He never complained, he accepted it. He was only worried about you.For some reason, God chose to take his spirit up to heaven,much sooner than we wanted him to, but now he's no longer suffering with pain,he's at home with his father,his mother,and his brother resting in peace. For all of us who love him he will always live on in our hearts."Grandma" I love you and I'm here for you. I Love You "Grandpa" forever. Debba -Doo
