To the father of the bride, who didn't make it far enough to walk her down the aisle. Wesley Warren died in November of 2020. He loved Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings, and spent much of his time on entrepreneurial pursuits. His strength and support is sorely missed.

To the grandfather of the bride, who also didn't make it to the wedding. Sherman Schmall died in June of 2020. He enjoyed fishing and hunting,  and his warmth and humor were loved by all who knew him.

It deeply saddens me to add my Uncle Matt, in May of 2023. He was a jovial and fun presence, and the party will be a little quieter without him.
