May I send my love and prayers to you.
Mr. Weber was a beautiful person, who
always showed the love of Jesus Christ.
May God bless The Weber Family through
these times. And may they always recall Mr. Weber's "one-liners". He
brought both a true joy and happiness
to everyone! He was also a serious
gentleman. May God help you all to
remember his wonderful characteristics.
