    "Aunt Bertie and Uncle Tyke"....we were all struggling to find a way to not automatically say one without the other a short two months ago... just like peanut butter and jelly. Now God took care of that and reunited you, Uncle Tyke, to make it the way we have always known and it should be. We knew you could go on, you were trying and we were all there to help you, but your heart was broken without her and knowing you are together will have to see us through, like your beautiful daughter said. But I will miss you as my uncle next door who always had a smile and a sense of humor that kept us on our toes! And for all that you did for my Mom ( hey "Bets" ) as her neighbor and loving brother, thank you. You may be gone ( too soon ) but we will lean on our faith knowing you are once again and forever..."Uncle Tyke and Aunt Bertie" I love you, Chrissy

Vickey and Rick you have a deepest sympathies for your recent loss. We will over a mass in our area for your Mother and Dad.

    Dear Dad, The sadness and pain of losing you only two months after mom is almost unbearable. But the thought of you both being together forever will see me through. I miss your smile and never ending whistling. All my love... Your " favorite" daughter, Vickey
