Our deepest sympathy to you, Mary, Gary, LuAnn and all of your families on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.
It’s all the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you’ll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. It is these very special memories that one holds dear in their heart.
“May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time.”
We are so sorry for your loss. Ed was a sweet man, and so dear to his family.
Edward was a very special branch of the Weis Family Tree. He will be missed by all of us. Especially at the bridge table, the dance floor, and the picnic table. He was a great friend too. Bill and I will miss him. Our prayers are with the whole family.
