To the Wied clan. I wish I could be there for all of you to honor and pay respects to a great husband and father. I have always been proud to know this family and be accepted by all of you. It says a lot about what kind of family you are. Even our youthful shennanigans did not keep Marge and Wally from inviting me back. How quick this life seems to move forward. But what an impact you have all had on the people around you. All because Marge and Wally decided they couldn't go through life without one another. Thank God for that. My prayers and hugs to all of you. Cheers to a good man. Celebrate his life and look around you and continue to be proud to be a part of that.

Love and God bless you all,
Jeanne Crowbridge
