It's difficult at such a time,
to find the words that say.
The things that one can only hope,
will comfort you today.
But may it help a bit to know,
that there are near at hand.
Those who keep you close in thought,
those who understand.

Grandpa was a great man.. He always had love to share. He always made sure Grandma knew of his love, He bought Grandma a Red Rose every Friday no matter what the occasion. He left "Big Shoes" for anyone to fill. All I know is, he raised some good Grandsons, Set some good inpressions, and always left me with a smile. Thank you Grandpa, for always giving me a brighter day, a bigger outlook and the warmth of a loving home and family. Even though I'm not you Grand daughter by blood, or marrage(yet), You have always been my Grandpa long before I knew your Grandson (Dustin). And you will always have a special place in my heart. The Greatgrand kids Dustin and I have given to you will also miss you dearly. But it is never Goodbye! We will see you again someday. I know atleast I will have never given away my last smile, for I will see you again, and I know I will have a millon smiles left just for you. Thank you Grandpa for the stories you shared and all the ways you ha!
 ve touched my life. Thank you for being the Grandpa I will always look up to and LOVE!! I promise I will take care of Grandma until the day you can be together again. She is my light and I am her path...I will help her cope and be by her side! Thank you Grandpa for providing me with a family of your blood that I couldn't thank the lord enough for. You in so many ways have taught me love and gave me hope for a brighter day. I don't know where my life would have ended up without you. Thank you for my foundation!!!  I LOVE YOU. And miss you everyday!! Until another day....Love You!!

To Shirley,John, Sam, Matt, Andy, and Shirley's family.

I was so saddened to hear of the lose of my dear, dear friend Fritz. I will miss his stories about Swea City, not realizing until his death that he wasn't talking about Souix City. That will be a personal little laugh I'll always remember. I'll also miss the little "gossip" talks we had at the Legion when no one else was around.  He was never a malicious man and always had a smile on his face. He had the laugh of that "Red Pop" commercial guy and I"ll never forget it.  I'm so glad I had the honor to know Fritz. Being at the Legion for 36 years, he was like a dad to me, I grew up with him around.  I'm going to miss you my dear, dear friend

John & Jo
   Sorry to learn about your sister.
DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL
   I have only slipped away into
the next room.
   I am I, and you are you,
   Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still.

   Call me by the old familiar name.
   Speak of me in the easy way
which you always used.
   Put no difference into your tone.
   Wear no forced air of solemnity
or sorrow.
   Laugh as we always laughed
   At the little jokes that we
enjoyed together.

   Play, smile, think of me,
pray for me.

   Let my name be ever the
household word that it always was.
   Let it be spoken without an effort,
   Without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

   Life means all that it ever meant.
   It is the same as it ever was.
   There is absolute and
unbroken continuity.
  
   What is the death but a
negligible accident?
   Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
   I am but waiting for you,
for an interval,
   Somewhere very near,
   Just round the corner.

All is well.

-Henry Scott Holland

Your father was my ex-husband's supervisor at Michigan Bell back in the early 70's.  Ex-Dorwin Mattice (known as Mouse) respected your dad so much and so did I.  I remember visiting your mom after she slipped on the steps in her nylon stocking feet and fell down the stairs and broke her back.  What a fantastic couple.  We were young in our 20's and they were like parents.  And I am sure they were great ones.  I haven't ever forgotten how much they touched our lives.  My deepest sympathy and hold onto those wonderful memories.

Charles Richard Walker
I would like to offer my sincerest condolence on the death of Charles Richard Walker.  No matter when a love one leaves they are gone too soon.  Death separates family members and this results in deep sorrow. The loving memories of him will help during this critical time.  Please accept my sentiments.  Even the strong may weep under the weight of grief. God is willing to give you the necessary wisdom and strength for healing.  Jesus wept when he lost his dear friend.  However, he said, “do not let your heart be troubled”.  (John 14:27)   He said: “I am the resurrection and the life”. (John 11:25)  So despite the pain of grief, never give up. Let it be your resolve to continue to work your way through your sorrow and mourning. I did not know Charles Richard Walker personally.  I read his obituary.  May you find comfort and peace. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal”-Unknown

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this sad time. 
Charlie will truly be missed.  Sorry for your loss. 
Bruce and Sally Merren

Sadie, My sympathy in the passing of Charles.  Take care.
Vivian (Smith) Wittkowski Daughter of Bruce and Loa Smith

Dear Sadie and family..We are sorry for the loss of your husband and father.  It was nice to get to know him better while he was Dad's (Thornton Bellinger) roommate at the Extended Care Facility.  He was so kind and patient with all the visitors constantly walking by his bed.  He served in a lot of organizations and was well-known..We are sorry but we will not be attending his visitation or funeral as we are leaving on vacation early in the morning.
May God bless and comfort you...Sincerely, Mike and Judy Blanding

I guess you were much sicker than you ever let on, your strength is evident. You are in the arms of Our Father, you and he will be watching over us to keep us safe and comfort us.

Burdette Wright
                                                        IN MEMORY OF BURDETTE WRIGHT
                                                           December 29, 1921 to August 5, 2010

I met Burdette on thanksgiving Day 1998. I was invited for thanksgiving dinner to meet the family that I would be part of in the next two years. Everyone greeted me at the door with hugs and smiles of welcome. From that day on I felt so much a part of the family and felt so loved. That day in November started a beautiful journey for me. Each and every time I visited, I was greeted with hugs and smiles and words like, "It's good to see you", "I love you too", and "Take care of that fella there." That fella is my husband, Michael, and the person saying those words to me was Burdette. How could you not love this wonderful man?

Burdette was one of those gentile giants. So kind to everyone he met, so caring and giving even to the smallest of God's creatures. He loved the rabbits, ground and tree squirrels and all feathered friends. He loved to feed them all and would watch out the window to see them come and go. That was his reality TV. Burdette was a farmer and so enjoyed the out-of-doors. A big garden was a summertime must. He enjoyed seeing things grow. The harvest of tomatoes, cucumbers and vegetables was a sharing time with family and friends.

Burdette was a humble man, not wanting for material things. He delighted in giving to others, especially his family. He enjoyed doing word puzzles and would let me help him solve some. Although he knew the answers, he would let me figure out so many entries and on completion of one puzzle after another, he would say "I couldn't have done it without you." I knew different, he was so wise, quick witted, so good at building you up, always making you feel good about yourself. Picture puzzles were another hobby that he would lay out and work on.  When I came to visit he enjoyed working on them with me. He had a good eye and knew where every piece went, like a carpenter building a house, he would measure the outside to make sure that each side and corner piece was in the right place. 

Burdette was one of an elite group, "The greatest Generation", a veteran of WWII. He was a life member of the Lakeview Hough/Pontius VFW Post 3701 and very proud of it. He told stories of his time in the Army during WWII. Always a funny tale of things he did or saw. He never talked about the bad elements of war.

I feel so honored to have shared twelve wonderful years in this family and with this very special giving, caring and loving person. I was privileged to share in his final hours, to witness his bravery again as a good soldier, as he carried the burden of death so courageously, and slipped so silently into eternity. I loved this man, as I know so many others did also. He leaves a great void. One that cannot be filled by mere mortal man. I will miss his smile, his laugh that made you laugh along with him. He will be missed.

With much love and respect,
Your daughter-in-law Fran and "That fella there," Michael

Virginia Marie Sims
Patty & Bob, I was so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom.  I have so many memories of growing up with her.  I loved spending time chatting with her in the later years when she would walk her "baby" past my parents home on Orange Street. She was such a gentle and loving friend. We shared many memories of Steve and I growing up together.  I know what a terrible time it is for you and your families.  Remember to talk, talk, talk about her and God willing your pain will become a little more bearable.  I am thinking and praying for you all.
Sandy Oberlin Bogart

The Moore's (Cy, Sharon and Alison)

When I look in the mirror I see my father in me. Little did I realize that when I became an adult he would have had such a profound impact on my life. My father was a great provider. He worked well into the night everyday so his family of seven would never go without. My father sacrificed his dreams and aspirations thruout his life so his wife and children could secure theirs.  When I look in the mirror I see that I have become the man that I looked up to for so many years and I am very sorry that I never took the time to thank him. 
I will miss you Dad.

David M. Bills
I knew Dave from our time at GHS and as fellow memebers of the class of 1979.  I had not seen him since that sunny June day over 30 years ago on the lawn of GHS as we graduated.  So sorry his journey was cut short.  We will "keep the good buzz goin" as was the motto of our senior class for you.  RIP Dave.

My condolences to the whole family.

      Reflections
I look into the mirror
When I stare real long I see
The reflection of you there
Standing next to me.
The sadness in my heart
Is softened ever so much
By the memory of your laughter
And your not so gentle touch.
Fond memories that I have....
You playing air guitar with a chair
Though you were only yards away
A New Years eve you were not there.
There is no answer good enough
To accept the loss of you
I wait for empty words....
He had greater things to do.
I will continue forward
Though it is with heavy heart
Your family needs me now
Oh God...Where do I start
The road of life is rough
And treacherous along the way
No one saw this coming
Oh my, what a long...long day.
Dedicated to Don
Love Shelly Staffen

To her children & theirs- I  wish you peace & strength at this time you are all so wonderful, just like Tret!

Loretta,  I see that your mom passed sometime on Tuesday after just seeing you on Monday.  Like my mom, we can rejoice in that they suffer no more and are looking down upon us with pride for having loved and supported them through this time.  I will always remember your mom's precious smile at the meal table and especially on that night at 2:30am when she thought it was time to get up for school.  What a sweet lady she was!  I enjoyed having gotten to know you through our times spent with our moms.  I wish you the best in the next few weeks as we celebrate and bring closer to two wonderful ladies lives here on earth.
Carol Sue Cook

I wished I could be there to give my condolences to the family.  I have been out of state for a year and a half and currently am in Ohio.  I had thought about Mabel when I went to Oakfield Museum the other day. I am in Ohio currently, so I will not be able to attend the funeral. I am sure glad I had a chance to know Mabel.  It was a thrill for my cousin, Sue Irvine, and I to receive a Christmas and Thanksgiving Cactus from Mabel at the farm that was from a Holmden plant.

Jon Hiler

At this most difficult time, I would like to send my sincere condolences. I didn't know Chris that well, but took great notice of him as he grew up. He impressed me with his respect of others and his love of his family. His unselfishness carried him in his belief that he was here to help others. He proved that on the day he took on a situation where his only concern was the safety of the young children whose lives he thought were in danger. The greatest love. Chris had that. He has my utmost respect and I hope he will be praying for all of us now.
God Bless Mary Hahler

So sorry for your loss even though I do not know your family.  I understand words don't mean alot at this point and alot of people really don't know what to say under the circumstances, but having family and friends around does help. I am speaking from my heart and soul that I know exactly what your family is feeling and going through.  I don't know how your son left you at such an early age.  I also lost my 16 year old son on April 29 this year from suicide.  If you need to talk at anytime, please contact me.  Tina Jensen

Jan Whitney

We attend Cowden Lake Christen Church with Carolyn. We are so shocked at her passing. She was a very nice, quiet, godly lady. She always sat in the back pew on the left side of our church, this last sunday a few of us noticed that she was not there, very unlike Carolyn. We will surely miss her, but we know that she is in a much better place. God bless!

Franc Harrington

There are many sweet memories of my Aunt Virginia. She was always loving and kind to me. I especially remember a beautiful red dress she bought me as a child. It is odd how those little kindnesses stay with you all your adult life. I have cried for her and said the Lord's Prayer for her. That seeems so insignificant after all the great memories she has given me. I hope she is with my Mom, Ruby. They would both be so pleased about that.

Dear Mandie, Stacy, Lindsay & all other family and friends,  Jack was a wonderful friend to me.  I was one of the last people to see him alive I have been told.  For that time together, I will be forever grateful.  Jack spoke of his family so often that I felt that I knew each and everyone of you.  His passing was a shock and I don't know that I will ever understand the reasons, but I do know this :  "  I am a better person for knowing Jack ".  With love and admiration,

To the family of Jack DeBoer.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  Many years ago I hired Jack to work for me at Wolohan Lumber in Greenville; not knowing it would inspire a great friendship.  Years later while selling real estate I got the previledge of being hired by Jack to sell his log cabin home in Gowen.  Although I haven't spoken to him for a few years, I can still recall the many conversations we had about our families, weight lifting and health.  He will be sadly missed and I know he had a great positive effect on many people's lives.  Just remember you now have another guardian angel watching over you from above.  God Bless!!
