Dear Hunter and the whole Weir family,

My condolences for your loss. What a rich life Mr. Weir lived, and what a legacy he has left behind—not just in furniture, but in people. Your family is a testament to the power of love, hope, and faith; how these are the ties that bind.

My thoughts are with you. He will be remembered—and loved—well.

Bree

Mitchell and Bradshaw family OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY.

Mr. Weir changed my ideas regarding birthdays. He chose his birthday to give his store employees bonuses. I never wanted to be selfish on my birthday again. What a giving man with an excellent business sense from the Lord. The Weir Family is in my prayers!

Mr. Weir taught me many things but two that stick in my mind were when he said, "Donna, when working here at Weir's you should buy really good supportive shoes because you stand all day and a really good mattress for resting up at night." I'll always thank him for that good advice. He was a wonderful friendly man and always stopped to talk to me in the Kindaid Gallery at Plano, he will be missed. Donna Ritz

What an amazing man with an amazing work ethic and love for The Lord. The Weirs family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I thought so much of both your parents. I will never forget their kindness when I was newly married and they helped me buy our first furniture at "Weir's Early American Store". Your Mom gave me a lavabo free with the purchase, and I was thrilled to pieces. I will never forget them.

You will live in our hearts and our prayers forever. Peace and rest with our Lord.

To the Weir Family. I am truly saddened at the loss of Mr. Weir. I have known you all for so long and took care of his glasses needs for a long time. Mr. Weir would always greet me with a big Hello and handshake. What a GREAT person. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of the Family at this time.
