Weldon is right here,inside of me,and inside of the many,and I mean MANY,of all the people he has touched,over the years.
There is a river coming out of my face right now,but its not because Weldon has passed.Its because I will miss him.

I will always admire him,as I always have,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,He carried a "strength" about him,and I swear I could see a "glow" about him,when I put a marble in his hands.



My deepest condolances for Edna and Family,,,,,,,

The visitation was Wednesday at our church. The funeral was Thursday and we buried Weldon today at his family's cemetery outside of Kerens. Over half of the people buried there are kin. His mom and dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins are buried there. I felt I was taking him home. He loved that town. His family, his childhood friends, some of his college friends, and some marble collector friends came for the burial. More were at the funeral yesterday and some of them even came for the burial. It is time now to say thank you to our many friends and it will take a while to acknowledge everyone. Every day I am receiving cards and notes and yes, marbles in the mail. I will personally be thanking each one. Weldon taught me a lot and I am finding he was a teacher and an inspriration for so many people. My heart is broken, but I know Weldon is free of braces and crutches and pain and for that I am grateful. He never complained, always compensated, always spread joy to people around him. I will share some thoughts and some moments as I feel I can and I am grateful and thankful for the kindness of everyone who has expressed their feelings for Weldon. Please be patient with me as I answer each person. Edna

Hi Edna!

Edna, Lin and I just got back from the Seattle show. This is the first I have been on the board and heard of the news. When I heard of the accident my heart just sank and a knot in my stomach. I am so glad that we spent some time together at the Texas show and again briefly in Seattle. Weldon was a SUPER guy and will be sorely missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you Edna and your family. Jim & Linda Wissler

My deepest condolences to the Eaton family, Edna im so sorry to hear Weldon had passed away, I have been away from marble forums and chat rooms for some time now and have just only found out of the accident.
