Praying for this family as they miss their Welo. He is now pain free, although your hearts ache because you love him so much. You are a strong, close family that will get through this together. He was a light in each of your lives so I pray he continue to bring smiles to you as you all remember him when your alone and altogether. May God continue to fill your hearts with peace, love & strength for your Wela.

The angels gathered near your bed so very close to you. For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through. We thought about so many things as we held tightly to your hand. Oh, how we wished that you were strong and happy once again. But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky where Jesus held His outreached arms,it was time to say goodbye. We struggled with our selfish thoughts for we wanted you to stay,so we could talk and walk again like we did just yesterday. But Jesus knew the answer and we knew he loved you so, so we gave to you life's greatest gift, the gift of letting go. Now our hearts will carry memories of the love you gave to us, until we meet again in heaven where the best is yet to come.

My Dearest Welo, I know you are in a better place where you are pain free and able to breathe again' but my selfish human nature wishes you were still here with us. I love you with all my heart and you are deeply missed. Forever in my heart you will be; and memories of you will be chersihed for ever. Every domino game played from here on out will be played in memory of you. You brought the domino passion into this family and it will live forever in honor of you. You truly are a hero for fighting a great war and being truthful to your country. The World lost a great man and I am honored to call him my Welo. I Love You Welo. I miss you so much.
