It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through. I was back in Toledo for the past 9yrs. I lost my loved one,so I came back to AZ. God Bless you Tom and family.

Attending large Kuehnle functions can be daunting....I could always count on cousin Donnie's warm smile and open arms to make me feel more comfortable. My parents adored him as well....I think dad felt he was like the son he never had. He will be missed! My sympathy to all the family.

I am happy for you, your suffering came to an end. Sad I am for your loss to your family and us friends. I think God really likes to test us ornery people before allowing us into Heaven. Nice to have met you and to have had a few drinks and stories with you.
