My datil cucumbers you seemed to love and after you became ill, I've had a few jars waiting to give you, however, you chose to pass for now because of your situation. Wendall, you were "a one in a million man" and I feel so honored and blessed that God brought you into my life. You had a "dry wit" that made me adore you and see past that "firm exterior" of yours. Your always made sure I...

Please accept my sincere condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that God is always near when our hearts are broken. He cares and understands your sadness. He will help you to endure.

With love and friendship, I share in your loss at this time. I cherish the time spent working with Wendell at Western Electric. Gone but never forgotten.
