Dear Cheryl, Jeff, Margaret, Craig, and Barbie,
Please know that I was deeply saddened to hear that your Dad had died. Aunt Maureen told me that he was very brave through his illness. It was a tough battle. I will always be grateful that he took such good care of your Mom in her last years. She had much better care because of his sacrifice.
We were driving from Michigan to Texas when we received the news of his passing and so it was impossible to come home for his funeral service. Aunt Maureen, Uncle Bill and I will send a contribution to the Alzheimer's Assoc. in his and your mother's names.
Love, Aunt Linda

Dear Douglas and Schoch families;
Please accept our deepest sympathy over the death of your Father, Grandfather, Brother-in-Law and Uncle. "Freddie" was a great guy and we will miss him at family gatherings. He was the family "geneology master." I still use all of the information he gave me. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
Jane Fischer, Bob and Cheryl Fischer Parr and family, and Carl Fischer Jr. and family

Cheryl and Jeff and families. Although your brother and sisters were too young to remember us as neighbors, we send our condolences to all of you. We shared many happy memories with your Mom and Dad, when we lived behind you on Evergreen.

Your Dad was a great comfort and a shoulder to lean on during our Monday visits after Emma's music lessons when my Mother was less than herself. I will cherish many wonderful memories especially when we worked on the Family Tree. Thanks Fritz!

I'm sure that my Mother is enjoying his company again!
