Chad was such a kind and friendly neighbor. He was always happy to take a moment to visit. We have missed his sweet smile at church since he moved but we are happy he is with his love Pat.
Thank you for your remembrances and testimonies at your dad's funeral. I wish I had been able to spend more time with him over the years. I realized there is so much more I would have liked to know about him. Thank you for sharing his last couple of weeks. It means a lot to me to know my dad was probably there. Love to you all.
