Dear Teresa & family, We were so saddened the hear that Duane had passed. We pray that he is now resting peacefully with God in Heaven.
He was such a fun, loving guy. I vividly remember the first time Vic & I attended a gathering at your house & Duane was so funny with his jokes & teasing. He was fun to be around. He always had a smile on his face & could put one on everyone else’s face too. He will be deeply missed by so many.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. We will be up to see on Monday night.
Our prayers are with you. Love, Kathy & Vic
Deepest sympathy to the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
