    Carol and family

    There are no words to express the loss of a loved one, I know for sure there were two people waiting to greet him with their arms wide open. Just as the pictures you posted brought back so many memories, I can only imagine the memories that are being shared or even re-created in heaven right now. Cherish all those memories you have and know that he is in good hands.

    Thinking of you!!

    Cheryl (McCarter) & Ernie Warden
