To Corey and Family--
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I am glad the Granddad got to make the most of his last few years, traveling to water-ski tournaments and even getting some skiing in himself! It seems he was surrounded by people that loved and cared for him, and that's a wonderful thing. Remember the good times, and celebrate his life. My thoughts are with you. I will be making a contribution to the Parkinson Foundation very soon in honor of Mr. Weaver.

Much Love and Prayers,

Dear Kathy,Kevin, Rob, and Trish and all grandchildren, all my prayers and sweet memories of our families together at Lake Gaston. Your Mom and Dad are beautiful examples of family love. One of my favorite memories was watching your Dad zip by our dock on a late afternoon ski with the sun at his back. Deepest sympathy and regards, Kathleen T. Royals

Dear Kevin, Kathy, Robbie and Trish - I have wonderful memories of our times at St. Andrews many years ago. I loved your dad and mom. Wonderful memories of your dad and mom will last all my life.

When I heard that your dad died, all I could think of was riding to baseball games with your parents and family; and football and basketball. Your family was like a second family to many of us and I am so grateful to have had all of you in my life. I will not cry long for Al. He lived a long life. He lived his life on purpose. I know he is happy being back with your mom. I will not be able to join you this week. I will think of you and pray that Al rests safely in light of God's grace.
