Bumper,
You and Grace were always two of my parents very best friends. I remember all the fun you guys had when I was growing up, and thinking I cannot wait to be like them!!! But now I realize growing up is not as much fun because we are closer to losing the most important people in our lives. The only comfort we can take is that Grace and my Dad are hanging out like they used to! I know how much you are going to miss her, but just hold on to the memories of all the wonderful times you had and the magical love you shared. I am praying for the strength you will need to help you through this difficult time. Heaven has one more Angel to watch over us. Take care of yourself and please let us know if you need anything. We love you.
Sheri Cudney and Family

Dear Bumper: Don & I just found out about Gracie's passing and we are so sorry. She was a wonderful woman. I remember her telling me the last time we saw Gracie that she didn't know how to tell you that you were the most important thing in her life. In case she didn't get the chance to say it herself she said to me "If I don't wake up tomorrow morning I only want Bumper to know that I said Thanks, it's been a great ride". Our thoughts and prayers are with you today Bumper. We are sorry we didn't get to visit with you and your family on Saturday. We would have liked to say goodby and God speed. God Bless, Helen & Don Panikowski

Saying sorry cannot express the sorrow I feel for your wife's passing Bumper. She was my work mate, my buddy, and my friend. Above all her love for you was the greatest love I've ever seen.
