O Come, Emmanuel!

Dear Arlene and Family,

Please accept my condolences and prayers on your loss of Bill, so close to your loss of Arlene's dear sister Dorothy! May they rest in Peace!

And, as we prepare to celebrate the Birth of Jesus, Our Savior, may we be reminded of the Great Hope which His Promise of Eternal Life gives us, not only in our own regard, but in that of those who have gone before us!

May the Blessed Virgin Mary gather their souls in Her arms, and carry them to the Everlasting Embrace of the Most Holy Trinity!

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. You see one of my employees just asked me if Bill was an important man.It got me to thinking how much he influenced my life & work ethic from my younger days at A&W Root Beer.What a role model he seems to have been to me;yet I never thought of it until now.I too have become an entrepreneur. What an influence he has been on my entire life. I will be there on Friday to say my Thank You's & good byes.
Love, Judi (Jatho) Weber
