Dear Mrs. Biegel, Doug, Joy, Janice and your families.

Our sympathy to you all in the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. The wound on your heart now becomes a tender scar over time. My sister sent me the notice knowing I'd be interested and it brings to mind many memories--all the way back to the bakery and upstairs apartment, to high school, Wilton, and beyond. May you be strengthened by the love of our Savior, and be blessed through the prayers and loving thoughts of many, now and in the days ahead.

Though a sad time for you, we hope this finds you all doing well.

It was always a pleasure to visit Joe and be with him through his better days and then to minister to him during the days of his declining health. He lived the life of the Christian faith and shared his faith with not only his family but all who came in contact with Him. Our loss is heaven's gain. Blessings on the Biegel family.
