As you cherish Warren's memory, I wish you peace and comfort in the knowledge that although he has gone from our sight, we will all be joined together again in heaven. I remember, fondly, my years at Aldersgate and often seeing you there. I am thankful that both Ed and Warren were fortunate enough to be enjoying things they were passionate about -- things which were admired by many, at the times of their sudden passing. Peace to you all. Margaret A. Hall (Class of BHS '76)(Smith)

Dear Sally & Carl: Vern happened to go to News Jrl online today and decided to visit the obituaries. He was truly heartbroken when he saw Warren's, as am I now that I have learned of the tragedy. Our Larry's birthday was March 28 so for the rest of my life I will think of Warren, too, at that time of year. Our sorrow that you should lose a second son is beyond words. Kahlil Gibran said, "The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain." I fear your cup runneth over. Sending sincere love and support to you and all your family, Jeanette & Vern Huber, Kinsale, Co. Cork, Ireland
