Dearest Tom and Kerry,
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. It's never easy losing someone so special and strong -- the man who always made his family feel safe, but more important, loved.
My heart goes out to you all, and I will whisper a prayer for your dad as well as your family.
Take care and God bless.
Most sincerely,
Dana (Karwacki) Jakus

Dear Kerry,
I am not sure if you remember me or not. I went to grade school and high school with you. Over the years, I have often wondered where everyone has settled during their lives. I have thought of you and a few others very often. I just saw this today and wanted to offer my sympathies to you and your family. Losing a parent is a very difficult experience and I hope it is comforting to you to know that your friends, old or present, are thinking of you in your loss. God bless you and may our Lord give you grace, peace and strength during this time of struggle.
With Sympathy,
Sandy (Kupser) Erdman

Dear Elsie & Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Bill was a true friend who helped me go through life changes after I had a stroke at the age of eleven. Bill taught me the ropes & guided me filling his shoes as taking over becoming the next President of the Stroke Club. I will cherish the memories forever. Bill will always live in my Hearts & Prayers. True Friends Forever...!

Dad,
It is the night before your funeral and I sit here trying as hard as I may to put finishing touches to the Eulogy I am about to deliver in your honor.
There is so much I want to say without breaking down, without stepping on my tongue, without being grammatically incorrect, but somehow I know you won't mind my effort. I am going to give a speech from my heart and not from a written document just like I have seen you do so many times before in my youth.
Please smile down at me while I do my best.
After the funeral I am going to have everyone take a shot of Jim Beam with a beer chaser in your name. I can see you smiling now.
I love you Dad,
Thomas Kevin Haight

Weens,
Even when you see him declining & the end finally comes, it's hard to say good-bye to Dad. He'll still be there for you in another way. Peace, Glenn Sheridan

Dear Elsie, Bob, Pat, Kerry, Tom and Laurie
I know it has been years since I was part of your wonderful family, but in my heart I have never left. I have the most wonderful memories of us as kids and how you all made me feel as if I was one of you. Most of all, Mom and Dad made me feel like I was a special part of your family. Dad was the kindest man I have known. He loved all of us unconditional and I am forever grateful in having him as part of my life and Patrice's life.
I love you all and my prayers are with you.

Elsi, Laurie, Pat, Tom and the rest of the family, I am so sorry to hear about your lost. I am going up to my Mom's today and will let her know. My Mom's sister Marcie passed away two weeks ago. I have such fond memories of my Uncle Bill. He was a kind and humorous man who I always enjoyed talking to. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Vikki (Paulson) Leary

Dear Bob and family,
Your father's journey was the greatest example for all. He was truly a caring soul who loved his family more than life itself. That trait has been imbedded in your spirits and now the batton has been passed on to all of you. You and yours are now the ambassadors of family love and are the shing examples for your children and grandchildren. There could be no finer tribute or legacy left to anyone than what Bill instilled in each of you.
Love,
Mary

Elsie, Laurie and Pat;
I was shocked to hear about Bill, Husband and Father to you and a great man who ALWAYS took the time to listen and give sound advice. He was a mentor to me when I needed a listening ear and will always be thought of for his kind and generous spirit. I visited with him several times after he retired and he was always alert and active although his physical health was not as it had been. I never recall him complaining.
At Allis he was loved, trusted and respected for his knowledge as well as his ability to make good in a given situation. I will always remember him for his never ending enthusiasm, his jokes and love for hard work. I look forward for the Resurrection to see Bill again.
May God bless you and your family as you face life without him.
