      We were so sorry to hear of Warren’s passing. He and his son often sat in front of us at church, and were always so sweet and friendly. For a time, the two of them made a fresh, delicious breakfast once a month for the Men’s Fellowship group which the men appreciated greatly. We will miss them both, but take some comfort that they are together now in the arms of the Lord they worshipped and loved. Sending our heartfelt sympathy to his entire family.
