Not sure what to say?

As a childhood friend of Karen ( and Phil) I grew up in my home and partially in the Waigands home. I loved Ellion and Agnes like second parents. He was a funny, compassionate guy who always made me feel special. I loved his sense of humor, and he was never too busy to stop and make us laugh, even when we were bothering him when he was trying to work the window business from home. I will never forget the twinkle in his eye when he shared a joke or laugh with us. I know he will be missed...

Ellion will surely be missed and never forgotten. His positive and perky personality were always shinning. You could always count on a hand stand in his front yard. Bashfull he wasn't. His attitude and smile was always a pick-me-up. He did take his bowling very seriously but it was only one of his many loves. A better friend can not be found.There are many blessings on this earth, and Ellion was near the top of the list. Not to have known him would have been a tradegy. To know hime...

Bev & Phil(son) would like to thank eveyone for their kind words and thoughts and that his life did make a difference!

Ellion was a great guy. Iworked with him when I was age 18 to 22. He always encouraged me ,and helped me ,when I was his Subistute.He also encouraged me to better my self.

Ellion was my mother's favorite cousin. I remember him coming to visit and always having tricks and amazing gymnastic ability to impress us kids. He was incredibly kind. We all loved him. I will never forget him and his beautiful wife and family. I send love and prayers to all of them.

Ellion will be missed. He was a special man who loved his family

I'd like to express my sincere condolences to Agnes, Phil, Sharon and all the Waigand family. I am Aunt to Sharon's husband, Curt. I first met Ellion and Agnes at the time of Curt and Sharon's TCU graduation and wedding the following day. I was struck by Ellion's wit, charm and story telling ability. He was truly a great gentleman and will be greatly missed. Agnes is especially in my thoughts and prayers as she faces her own illness without Ellion.

I forgot to include the wife of Phil Waigand, Beverly, who is so very dear to Agnes and was very dear to Ellion.

This is my first experience with such a Guest Book.
