Matt and family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I know your father was a good kind man and friend to all who crossed his path.
XOXO Ron, Angie, Zach, Marley, and Trenton

For all my Cousins, Uncles & Aunts....

Though it hurts to lose a loved one, it is most painful to grieve for what you didn't get to enjoy with them, things you feel you may have missed......
So instead remember the blessings they left behind, and all the wonderful memories.
Treasure their essence, for they will live on in your heart forever.

I will always remember the good times with Uncle Chuck...Like when he went a father/daughter event with me when I was...

For my Sommer Family friends, I offer an Indian Prayer I read not long ago-

I give you this
One thought to keep.
I am with you still.
I do not sleep...
I am the soft stars
That shine at night...
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still,
In each new dawn...

In one of the stars
I shall be living
In one of them
I shall be laughing
And so it will be
As if all...

My Prayers Go out to my Brother Will miss him very much,all our brothers & sisters will also miss him I was glad to hear that he had made Peace with God before he Passed to be With Dad & John & all our relitives there.I know all his nieces & nephews Will miss him as Well including hes ex wife Tracy

My prayers and condolences to Chuck's children, Mom and my brothers and sisters and Tracy on our loss. Chuck was "Charlie horse" we all had our nicknames for each other growing up and chuck has a lasting presence in us all, I will miss Him very much and though I know He is with God and the rest of our loved ones it doesnt reduce the sadness I have for our loss, that once a week or so phone call to gab about nothing just to hear each others voice will not happen anymore and I will miss Him.

Death, be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost...

Our condolences go out to the family. We are going to miss Chuck. We had a lot of good times together over the years.
God Speed, good friend
