The moment you died our hearts split in two.

One side filled with memories, the other

side died with you.Remembering you is easy

but missing youis a heartache

that never goes away.Life has gone on

without youbut will never be the same.

We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain.

Missing you and lovingyou always and forever.

Your wife, you family and your friends.

Thank YouAfter the sudden death

of our mother, Betty Werleof Manly, the number ofcards, calls, food, contri-butions to the wonderfulHospice center, and per-sonal condolences receivedwere far greater than wepossibly could have imag-ined. Her sons and extend-ed family would like toexpress their deep, heart-felt gratitude to all whooffered support and love toher during her nearly sev-enty years as a Manly resi-dent.

Among the many cardswe received, one had thefollowing handwrittenpoem inside that cap-tures the love and lives

THANK YOU

our parents shared:

He went out hunting pheasants

and found his treasure there.Their love would

last foreverlike the best

of memories shared.With truth

and genuinenessshe lived and laughed

and loved.Now once again together

they’re hand in hand and free,

On a new adventurein a place we can’t yet see.

(written by Doug Brink)

The family of BettyWerle humbly thanks all

who participated in cele-brating her life with us. ToFather David Kucera, weespecially appreciate yourtouching tribute to ourmother. Her love, kind-nesses, and unendingdevotion will be forevercherished.
