Although i didn't have the opportunity to spend as much time with you as I would've wished.. you were gone far too soon! The time that we did spend was priceless to me. You always had a quick wit, keen mind and insight, and a way to make everyone around you just feel comfortable and a part of things. When Matt told you that he wanted nothing more in life than to marry me, you helped him with the engagement ring.. one of the last gifts and the most treasured (I'm smiling at it as it rests on my finger even now) . At that point, i knew that you wanted me as a daughter-in-law, and I was excited to have you as another dad.. One of the most horrible calls Matt got was the news of your passing.. and we both deeply grieve your loss. Putting you to rest in Sydney Nova Scotia in August of 2023 was one of the hardest things we had to do, but we made sure that we explored that land that you love so much, and now know why you loved it so.. as we are starting to do. Thank you for everything Dad Wagner, for your kindness in making me feel so welcome, and I pray that you are truly Resting in Peace. -Kim
