To Buzz & Family,

I Know there's nothing anyone can say

To ease what your feeling or take it away.

The memrys bring pain now but this

won't always be,

As time passes slowly

they'll bring consolation to thee.

In your thoughts and your heart forevermore he'll live on.

Through the bonds of your love he will never be gone.

My deepest sympathy!

To Buzz & Family,

Anytime I stopped by to visit with my "Buddy" I was always welcomed. It didn't matter what time or day it was. We would sit, talk, drink coffee and eat some goodies. When it was time for me to leave, I always felt better. We will miss our "Buddy" like we miss our family.

To Buzz & Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. When I think about Irvin, I remember this quiet gentle man that didn't talk much. When I'd see him I would say how ya doing and he'd quietly answer ok. You can tell just how much he touched peoples lives in his kind gentle way after hearing your two precious children Dena and Joey speak about their grandfather. His love and memory will forever live on in your garden of life. God Bless You.

my deepest sympathy to all of you. Irvin was a dearly loved cousin and i too will miss him. He is so much like his father., kind and loving ,and speaks softly with his heart. He has touched so many lives and made many special memories with everyone who knew him. He was a handsome man and a real Gem of a fellow. His love will remain with me always and I cherish the times that I have spent with him. God bless. And to Jenny, his wife, I will stay in touch and will visit you when possible. My last visit with Irvin, I told him that I love him. And his last words to me were that "I love you too!" Oh how special that was to me. Thank you for sharing him with me.

To the Welsh Family,

The passing of you husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, is never easy on the loved ones he left behind and it's times like these that family and friends are so very important. I am sorry to hear of the loss but know that he is in a far better place than we are and his suffering is now over. God gives us no more than He thinks we can handle. Although we may not understand it at this time, you will in time. Cherish his memories, I am sure you have many. They will help you through these rough days ahead of you. He is now an Angel of God, in Heaven watching down one the ones he left behind, and will be waiting to see you all once again. My deepest sympathies to the Welsh Family.
