Katherine and Michael,
Uncle Warren gave the best gift possible - the gift of himself. I learned early that he said what was on his mind and did not mince words with anyone. He was a family man who dearly and clearly loved his children and grandchildren.

Buddy, I never thought I would see that day where you would no longer be in my life. Where I would go to your home and not see you sitting at the table. It's still hard to believe that you are not here. But you are still here,in my thoughts everyday and whenever I look at my mother I see you. I have always admired you and have nothing but respect for you. I will miss you dearly. Your granddaughter, Candace

Katherine-

I was the counselor for OADS. I have been thinking about Warren SO MUCH lately, and just learned of his passing. I feel so blessed to have shared the time with him that I did. I will always love and remember him.

Buddy,

Aaron

Katherine,

Bless you.
Love,
