    So sorry to hear of Grace’s passing. She was such a fine lady and so proud of her girls. I remember from the Library and later from
    Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. She will be missed.

    Karen, Sharon, Sheila & families,
    We are sending our sincerest sympathy following the passing of your mother Grace. Through the years we came to know your mom at Trinity Lutheran & then at Good Shepherd Lutheran and so she has been part of our church family for many years. She was such a sweet lady & we were so glad to have had a nice chat with her just before she moved to the coast. Now may she rest in our loving Father’s arms, free from the “struggles” of this world surrounded by all the beauty of Heaven.
    God bless,
    Bob & Pat Schatz & family

    Dear Karen, Sharon, Sheila and Families,
    We’re so sorry to hear of your loss. It’s never easy to lose one’s mother, no matter now old or young they are. We had many good conversations with your mother, and much prayer time spent together. I hope you can spend lots of time remembering, laughing, and crying together for comfort. May our good God surround you with His Peace. May He pour out His strength upon you, and wrap you up in His great love.
    We’re thinking about you and keeping you in our prayers.
    Love, in Christ,
    Ralph & Rita Wold

Please share your thoughts ...
