Please accept my deepest sympathies. I am so sorry for your loss. I grew up down the street from the Wenners and remember them fondly. Mr. Wenner used to tease me on the way to Dubbs every Sunday when I was little because he could hear my clogs making noise up the street. He would always say, "Here she comes in those clodhoppers!" May the peace of Christ be with you today and always and may happy memories sustain you in this difficult time.

We can't begin to understand the saddness your feeling at this time. I will always remember walking every weekend to their house from ours (on Cedar) & sitting w/Uncle Jim on the porch. Oh how he loved our dog Ziggy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Jim and Irene were our next door neighbors in Allentown from 1988 to 1995. Jim was the nicest neighbor I could imagine. He was always friendly, kind and helpful to us. I remember him telling us stories of when he was in the war. We would like to express our condolences to his family.
