Dear Karen,

I loved your Dad and I'll always keep him in my heart. He could always make me laugh. I so admired him for the love he had for your Mom and he never denied how he felt about her. I remember when he brought her to Pa to meet the family and how he just couldn't stay away from her. He loved all of you so much.

I will miss his visits with us but I will always have the fondest memories of him and your beautiful Mom.

My Mom & Dad loved your parents very much and enjoyed their visits and visiting them.

I will keep Uncle Mike in my thoughts and prayers.

Love you,
Carol

Dear Karen & Joe, Joey, & Kari,

Your Dad and Grandfather, will forever remain in our hearts.

Karen, I have so many fond childhood memories of your Dad, who was like a 2nd Dad to me growing up. He had such a great smile and was always fun to be around.

He was a great friend to Sam & Angie and the Ventruella family. We will miss him. He is now with His Wife and children.

May He Rest in Eternal Peace with our Lord.

All Our Love and God’s Blessings for Strength for all of You!

Jan & Dana Hoopingarner and The Ventruella Family, Sam & Angie, Don & Marianne and Family, and Michael & Michelle, and Family
