To Diane, Cory and Eric. We wish we could attend the funeral of your husband/dad. We were planning the trip until it was suggested we needed to quarantine for 2 weeks upon our return. We miss seeing everyone, and will always remember Kurt from the time you all entered our family with Wally and mom's union ship. What a journey of life and growth. I remember your dad helping me put together my canopy waterbed in my apartment in 1981, 27 pieces. Yikes, crazy. When Frank & I were married, Kurt, as part of our wedding party needed to carry flower girl, Abbey down the isle at church. We remember when Kurt visited mom in Dayton, mom was so excited & wanted to take him to her favorite restaurant, The Mill in Miamisburg. He would just smile. The everlasting smile. Diane & Kurt's wedding on the boat was a memory as I just found pictures the other day. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. Mom, your biological grandmom, Wally, & others welcome him to Eternity.
