Joyce. As this book of memories from friends, comes to a close, I wanted to say once again, that you and Irvin were good friends to me and I will miss him when I get to come up from Charlotte to visit. All of the Waddells are very special friends to me. I miss the one's who have gone on home, and love the one's who are left here. Be at peace, know that Irvin is not suffering, and at rest with the Lord.
Love you, Irma

Joyce, I will never forget my fishing trip with Uncle HooHoo as we called him. He loved being out on his boat.I have always been told that God won't give you anymore than you can handle. I know it is really hard now but time does heal the pain and the memories you have of your wonderful husband will always bring a smile to your face. I remember seeing him at the hospital the week before he passed away and even with the pain he was in he always had such kind words for all the nurses that came...

Joyce, What can I say - the Waddell family has always been dear to me. My sister, Irma, put into words exactly the way I feel also. May GOD be with you and give you the strength and courage to get through this very, very sad time. I will be there on Saturday and since Irma will not be able to be there, I will be there for her also.
I will always remember my best friends, the Waddell family. Rest in peace, Irving.
Love you,
