Dear Dawn and Alberta,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Although I never knew your father, I can only guess what he had been like to produce such kind and loving daughters.

Dawn and family.. I am sorry for the loss of your Dad..
We lost my dad this past July and i know the loss is more than words can say.
Dawn i was one of your first students. ( I gave you a run for your money at first..) I remember meeting your parents , as we were doing a project with you after school.. We were painting the windows at Nichols for Halloween.
Your dad and mom made of us and i knew at that moment where your great skills as a person, teacher and mentor came from.
I have great memories of those days in Miss. Thibodeau class... :)
A day does not go by that i dont think of my dad and some are better than others but, it does get better.
Remember the memories..
God bless to you all..

Dear Alberta, Cathy, Dawn, Sue and Terry,
In this day when most people don't even know their neighbors, I am blessed to have lived next to the best ever. Your Dad and Mom treated me like family from that first day over 16 years ago. Through them we got to meet all of you and your families.
I have many fond memories of your Dad. I will miss his visits while I was working on a project in the yard. He always timed them just right, usually when things weren't going quite right or I needed a break. I'm sure that he will still be watching over me and I take comfort in that.
I know that the kids will miss him watching them in the pool. He always made them feel welcome and special.
With all our love and deepest sympathy, Tad, Jennifer, Molly, Caroline and Owen

Cathy, I am so sorry for your loss. Just know that he is in a much better place now. While I never knew your dad in my adult years, I did know him in my childhood and I remember walking home from the Y Pool with my siblings and he would stop and pile us into the station wagon with you kids to give us ride home and sometimes took us for ice cream cones. It was such a nice treat for me as a child and I remembered it all of my life. What a kind person. I will keep the whole family in my prayers.

Dear Dawn and Bert, Although I never had the pleasure of meeting your Dad having known you I feel I know what he must be. Knowing that you have done all you could have done and being there at his passing will offer some relief from the pain you now feel . Speak of him in the present as he will always be with you. With much love, Bert Lang

To the Whole Family, We are so very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was truly an assett to his family, the community as well as this world. He had so much to give and gave without asking for much in return and you have to believe God felt it was time for him to rest. Shed some tears but celebrate his life by remembering the great gift he left to all of you. His Wisdom, His Knowledge, His Passion for Life, His Sense of Humor, and most all His Undying LOVE for each and every one of you.
