OMG, I just heard of this from speaking with Mark on facebook. I have been in the area; if I had known, I would of attended Pastor Voll's service. Many fond memories of practicing for Madrigal concerts around the Voll's piano. My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. God Bless! Nick Kellen

Dear Brenda & Gerald,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you at the loss of your father & father-in-law. I remember him as a chaplain at Advocate Christ Medical Center and when he portrayed Abraham Lincoln in Evergreen Park's 4th of July parade. I also remember how determined he was to take the boat cruise on Lake Michigan this summer--he didn't let anything deter him from doing it! May the memories of your father give you comfort & may God give you the strength to endure the pain of your loss. We now can rejoice that he is with the Lord & no longer suffering on this earth. God be with your & your whole family.

Rev. Voll,
You were with me from day one. You married my parents and helped them adopt a beautiful baby girl....ha...that would be me! You were my childhood pastor and married Billy and I. During all the wonderful times and all the difficult ones, you and Carol were there for me. THANK YOU.....Bet they rolled out the red carpet for you up there. LOVE YOU CLIFF AND WILL MISS YOU! PS: always loved the sugar spoon with the hole in it and children's time at church when you would call us all up front....My thoughts and prayers to your family.

John, Margie and family, I met Clifford once at a graduation party at your home. It was my pleasure to have met such a pleasant man. I walked away knowing that I had shared a few good moments in time. I thank him for that exchange. Many wonderful memories to all of the family.
