Jim and Tom,
I know the past couple of years have been hard on the two of you since your dad's stroke. May you find peace in knowing that he is released from this world and is joining many great ones who have passed on before him.
God Bless,
-Susie

Jimmy,
Well, another one of the "great ones" has left his legacy to his son to carry on. I know he left it in your hands with confidence that you will do well by it. He was a great guy and I will always remember him from down at "Good Old Andy's". Guys like your dad and "Slush" & "Abby" and Speich just to name a few made it a great place to work. You got that big smile and positive attitude from him, so wear them proudly. Celebrate his life and thank God for loaning him to you for all these years. He really was proud of you and loved you deeply.

A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
And, as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall....
One day, a beam of light shone through
a crevice that had opened wide ~
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
then passed beyond to the other side...
Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
Its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by God's own loving care.


May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today.
