Paula,Lindsey,And Stacey,
My heart goes out to you, Everybody knows Weggie was one in a million.
My whole family loved Weggie, The last time I saw him was at my mamas viewing- That is how I want to remember him- Smiling giving me a hug.
He was so very proud of his girls and grandbaby, I could not bear to go see him in the hospital- I wanted to- I just couldn't- Please know that I admire how strong you and your girls were- And how PROUD Weggie was looking down at you.
Sincerely,Dorothy(Callie)Pound

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND BE WITH YOU IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW. MAY HE GIVE YOU STRENGTH AND HOPE TO MEET EACH NEW TOMORROW. WEGGIE WAS ONE OF A KIND, HE WILL BE MISSED, BUT YOU CAN SAY GOOD-NIGHT, FOR YOU WILL SEE HIM AGAIN, BECAUSE HE GAVE HIS HEART TO JESUS, AND LEFT YOU SO MANY MEMORIES, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN SO MANY PEOPLES PRAYERS, AND THIS IS THE TIME YOU CAN LEARN TO LEAN ON JESUS, CAUSE HE SAID IN HIS WORD HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR WILL HE FORSAKE YOU, HE WILL SEND YOU THE COMFORTER, CAUSE WHEN I NEEDED HIM HE WAS THERE, AND HE IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS, WHAT HE WILL DO FOR ONE HE WILL DO FOR ANOTHER. NOBODY CAN TAKE YOUR MEMORIES THEY ARE YOUR FOREVER. THANKS TO YOU AND WEGGIE, FOR TAKING CARE OF CHARLIE.

If you could see me now
I'm walking on streets of gold.
If you could see me now
I'm standing tall and whole.
If you could see me now
You'd know I'd seen His face.
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain's erased.

Paula, My heart goes out to you and the girls. It is the changing of an era. Weggie will be missed by oh so many. I give my prayers to be with you in the months ahead. May he comfort you and hold your heart. We love you..
