Duane you will be missed, my favorite memory is of Duane and my oldest daughter swimming in our friends swimming pool and Duane teaching her to hold her breath…splashing and laughing…to this day she loves the water and I attribute that to the fun she had in those early beginnings of swimming, I think she was three then.
My Son who I loved so much, you will be missed more than you know..to his friends who loved him very much to his family who always loved him.You are with the Lord now and he will show you much happeness and continue Love.

Duane I know we talked a lot about dieing and what you would leave behind. I have nothing but fun memories with you. I know being a faithful servant to God was on your mind every day and for that I thank you. I will miss you but just think no more breathing treatments and now you can run all you want too. I know you are in his presence now but know that my family and I all love you.
