Dear Rick, Dave, Doug, John and all your families,

What an amazing mother you had! There aren't many women who can handle raising four sons, but God knew that your mother would be up to it and do a great job.

My last memory of her is from many years ago when she came to our house on Greenleaf Avenue to visit my mother and I happened to be home at the time. Your father had already passed away at that time but she was still reaching out to help and comfort others.

May God help you to bring to remembrance all the good times you shared together, and may you be comforted in the knowledge that you have many friends who share in your loss.

Yours in Christ,
George F. Weick, Jr.
