We loved spending time with Mel & Joyce, they were always fun to be with, we shared a lot of family times as well as going out to dinner. They are 2 of the most loving, generous people we have known. Joyce was the maid of honor at our wedding and Mel photographed the ceremony--such great memories. Our sympathy to Terry, Judy and Michael and extended families--our hearts go out to you--Love you all!

Mr. Weir was the greatest of teachers! He believed in me and made me believe in myself. I worked hard in his Business Law and Accounting classes because he encouraged all of us to do our best and he genuinely wanted us to succeed. Mr. Weir, may you rest in peace with your beloved wife. Prayers go out to his family. He will always be with you. ❤️

I was saddened to see that your father passed away. I know your mom died only a year ago, and in fact, I sent your father a card/note at that time. I know what a great man your father was - he was a good teacher and a wonderful mentor to me as his student. I will always remember him as "my favorite teacher", but he was truly a kind and gentle man.
