This was a letter written after Warren died. Did I ever send it? I really don’t know.

I am finding such comfort in your cards and letters. I have received 278 and each day more arrive. Warren touched so many lives. I truly believe we are God’s instruments and you have all been so loving and concerned. I so appreciate it.

The children have been so wonderful, each giving of themselves in varied ways and helping me adjust. The girls each had a turn beginning with Anne who shared the last week with her Dad and was such a support for both Pete and me. A very difficult time but so grateful to have been there with him always.

The memorial service was attended by over three hundred and fifty and was a real celebration of Warren’s full and very meaningful life. A young man, Josh Mitchell, is in the Navy band, just happened to be home and he came and started the service by playing the Navy hymn. This one request Warren had made many years ago along with “The Palms” and our dear friend, Lois Sexaur played this. Al and Stacy, our ministers conducted the service along with Bob Reynolds, Exec Presbytery. Dave Jones, minister from Western Springs and our dear friend Ed Cook all had a part in speaking of Warren.

Each had their own experiences but all recognized his complete loyalty to God and his fellow man, and his energy and determination to get things done and his love of family and church. The service concluded with bagpipes playing, “Amazing Grace”. I feel Warren was saying “WOW!”
