Memories, photos and condolences may be shared at www.waggfuneralhome.com OBITUARIES What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see, to hear your voice and see your smile, that meant so much to me. Heavy are our hearts today, memory brings you back once more, to the time when you were with us, to the happy days of yore. We are sad within our memory, lonely are our hearts today; for the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep.
