I HAVE ONLY WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF GRANDPA,HE WAS THE NICEST MAN, AND HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY.
MY FONDEST MEMORIES WERE MY COUSINS AND I WOULD GO SPEND THE NIGHT AT GRANPA AND GRANDMA'S HOUSE.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THOSE MEMORIES THEY WERE SOME OF THE HAPPIEST TIMES OF MY LIFE AS A KID, AND I'M SURE MY COUSINS WOULD AGREE!
I COULDNT ASK FOR A BETTER GRANDPA. NOW GRANDMA DOESN'T HAVE TO DANCE WITH THE BROOM ANYMORE, AND NOW SHE CAN DANCE WITH GRANDPA!
(remember the Eagles)I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH GRANDPA, AND I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY!

On behalf of the Smith "Kids" formerly of Kasson Twp and Maple City -- Our deepest sympathy to the Wagner family.
Memories? -- I was pretty young but I still remember your house fire on a Sunday afternoon. We were having dinner and a passer-by stopped to report the fire and use our phone. Thank you so much for mentioning Grandma Bessie and Grandpa Clare too. God Bless you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I feel for the Wagner family. I did not know your father, but I do remember Diana from high school. She was such a sweet girl and what a sad loss at such a young age. Sincere condolences. Love and light to the family and many friends.
