THANK YOU

Thank you, to all you who supported the family and helped out at Gary's "Celebration of Life". The memorial service was amazing!
We couldn't of had such a wonderful event without the help of all you- his family and friends. The cards, flowers, balloons, picture boards, food, music and speaker was wonderful. Thank you so much for making it a day we will never forget - the Weigel Family.

"The love of a family is life's greatest blessing"

The Weigel Family

"Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great gains, and our comfort when we occasionally falter"

May your laughter always echo on...

To Those Whom I love &
Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go.I have so many things to see and do,You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guessHow much you've given me in happiness.I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must,Then let your grief be comforted by trust.It is only for a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away for life goes on.

And if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near.And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, All my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you come this way alone,I'll greet you with a smile and a 'Welcome Home'
