I have a lot of memories of Damien, starting from when we all lived in Sumner. I also remember Bill regaling me with his memories of being on maneuvers with Damien and with Tom Coleman. What a sight that must have been!
Love to you all, Karin Weber

Dear Maggie,
I remember our love friendship, first when we all lived in Sumner and after that at Columbia CC. They are good memories.
Bill knew Damien long before I came in the picture. Now they both have gone to be with our Lord Jesus. My Bill died September 26, 2023. He was 83 years old. I miss him. Fondly, Karin Weber

Maggi,
l was so sorry to have missed you at Damian's service. Betsy and I were squeezed in the back of Little Flower and did not want to make a fuss. It was a lovely service. His passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts.
