To My Brothers and Sisters,
It's hard to believe that Dad has been gone for one year. The mass and breakfast we had on Sunday was a great tribute to Dad. Thanks to all of you for making the day so special. I really enjoyed spending the day with everyone going through pictures and remembering our wonderful parents. I know that Mom and Dad are smiling down on all of us. We are so lucky to have each other. May God bless all of you.

Love,
Ruthie

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We have shared many memories together.We were created by God using our 2 wonderful parents. The role both played in our lives made us who we are today. Eight children lived, played and worked together. We were taught so many virtues by our parents. We need to cherish those memories and cherish us as a family. I love all of you and believe that one day we will be united with our mom, dad, and grandparents who without them we would not be what we are today.
Love, Mary

Warren was my father-in-law. We were very close. The past five years he lived two doors from us and we saw him almost daily. Warren was a great Chippewa Indian and proud of his family heritage. He raised eight (8) wonderful children - four sons and four daughters. Warren loved his family and was happiest when he was spending time with them. He was a great family man who enjoyed seeing his grandkids, watching the Chicago Cubs, going to Las Vegas, taking cruises, going to dances at the VFW and Foreign Legion Halls. Many good times were had with Warren. May God rest his soul as he joins his lovely wife, Louise, in eternal rest. Let it be known that there is one more angel in heaven.

I didn't really know this man, but I know my family loves him. I've heard many great stories about him and find it fascinating that he was Native American. Perhaps, if I was younger or physically closer I could have developed a relationship with him. My grandma says that at least now he can be with his wife. Peace to all of you.

Our sympathy to you all, Warren was a wonderful man, gracious, loving, friendly, and funny. I loved going with my dad to watch the guys bowl on Friday nights. Good times. My parents also went on trips with Warren and Louise to Vegas it was their time away from the kids. Warren is now with Louise, and both shall remain in a special place in my heart. Our prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
