Wendy and Johna - We are praying for you and for your family as you go through this difficult time. Find comfort in knowing that your father in resting in peace. May you and your family take comfort in knowing that God cares deeply about you and will dry every tear that you shed. Turn to Him during this time - he is a "present help in times of trouble". (Psalm 46:1). We love you both, and are praying for you and with you!

Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they'll live on in our hearts.

Wendell and I first met at Horace Mann Junior High School. I've considered him a good friend since then. He called not long ago and it was good to visit with him again. Wendell, I'll miss you.

Someone said to me the other day, "It takes a Lifetime to get it Right & sometimes there just isn't enough time". You've taught ME more than U could ever realize & I will 4ever LOVE U for that. In your last days you excepted God as your lord & savior. I can rest peacefully knowing that God welcomed YOU with open arms. Now its your time to R.I.P. pops/Ole Man. I Love U 4 Life & there's nothing U can do about that but except it for what it is. Bye Daddy..... until we meet again!
