Karen: Klaus and I are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Forgive our absence as I have been on flu meds and thought it best to stay home. We remember meeting your Mom and Dad one Thanksgiving at my brothers Vals' house. Your Dad just charmed and delighted us all. May he rest in peace, and we add our prayers to the countless others, that God will hear our choir of voices as one on your familys' behalf; for strength, comfort and peace in this difficult time. Love, Nancy

Dear Cookie, Jan and Karen,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I just learned this past Saturday from my nephew's wife, Sarah Fanuko. (I guess Molly baby sat for someone, and Sarah's husband, Bob let us know...) You're in our prayers and if there's anything I can do please let me know! Love to all, and God Bless you!

Karen, Jan and Cookie: I am very sorry to hear about Reggie. He was always very good to me and have I nothing but fond memories. Even when the house was filled with crazy teenagers, he always had a smile and treated all of us like family. God bless all of you,

Karen, so sorry to hear of your loss and so sorry for such a late response. My mom saved the obit as I returned from an out of town trip, otherwise I would have attended the wake. It is always tough to loose a parent, especially one that was so involved in life as your father was. I hope that you're doing well. It's been a long time, but I still remember you and your family! Take care - you're all in my prayers!

Dearest Cookie & Family,

"Reggie" has traveled down a road that's calm and peaceful. God's loving hand is guiding him on a journey to a distant and much better place.

Although your heart is heavy with sorrow you will always bear, it may help to bring you comfort, knowing "Reggie" is happy in this place. Someday, you will be together again.

Every day, in some small way, memories will come to mind. Memories in your heart today mean more than words can ever...

OMG - could not believe the sad news, I am so sorry I cannot be there with you all...I will truly miss "cute knees" and all his words of wisdom. My deepest sympathy to you, Cookie, and Karen, Janice and family.

Dear Cookie, Karen, and Jan,

There is no way I could tell you how sorry I am to hear about Reggie, when we were young he tought me to be tough, to be strong. He is a great brother. We had so much fun. Reggie could always look at the good in people. No matter what. He was always there when someone needs him. No matter what, he was always there. I am going too miss him so much.

Darlene & Jimmy

Cookie
You and Reggie were a testament to what "til death do us part" means. Your love for each other was an inspiration for the rest of us, even to me a person who lived thru your adventures thru my friend, your friend, your neighbor, what a circle of life we all live in - we love & support each other and half the time don't even realize that we do - Remember the laughter, Remember the many good times and the bad because that's what made your love stronger - - All things thru Jesus! ...
