To Bonnie and Family.
I am so sorry to hear about Scott. Greg S. actually is the one who saw it in the paper and told me. I couldn’t believe it! I don’t know what to say except my heart goes out to all of you….. Like the obituary said, He was a great family man and loved his family dearly. May he rest in peace.
Deanna, Kaylee and Cody
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free; I’m following the path God laid for me. I took The hand when I heard the call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me; God wanted me now, and set me free.
You are more missed than you will ever know.
we pray for you everynight and hope that you are in a better place with people you love and you will always be remembered as a great father, friend and son.
we will never forget you.
i love you and miss you.
your son matthew
My father was not only a great man but my bestfriend, after his diagnosis with cancer in 2006 I dedicated all my time to caring for him. We did just about everything together for the past couple years and I learned so much from him. I will miss him very much and love him with all my heart.
Slack,I have known you for a long time .We have worked on a lot of different jobs together.I enjoyed you as a great friend and coworker.On every job we worked together you always had a way to make it fun .If I had a choice of a person I would want to work with it would be you with out a doubt.You taught me a lot about fabrication and you were a great mentor.I will miss so much ,I know you are in a better place now.Some day I will see you again.Keep smiling and don’t ever lose that one of a kind laugh.your good friend,Kent
To Jennifer: I just want to say that I’ve been inspired by the time and dedication you’ve given to your dad in his fight for cancer. He must have felt content and at peace knowing that he had someone like you fighting for his life and supporting him to the end. He’s resting now and is in no more pain. He’s in Jehovah’s hands – a God of Love!
