Our sincerest thoughts and prayers have

been with The Fritzel Family since your

loss of Mike and Paula.

The low points of tragedies in our lives

make us stronger and bring us back up to

a more durable well being.

Although I've only known Jim , Tony and

Pat for a short time through a wonderful

golf fellowship , my wife and I feel your

pain and loss of a family member.

May God bless all The Fritzel Family

through this trying time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't really know Paula, but I've known Mike since grade school. I have very fond memories of playing with my Sullivan cousins and the Fritzels, who lived next-door to them. May their souls rest in peace and may God wrap you in his loving, comforting embrace.

My heartfelt condolences to the Fritzel family. Although I knew Mike and Paula mainly from the time I built their home in the early 2000's, they were both top notch and a true pleasure to work with. We became good friends and I always think of them when passing their home. If I can help in any way please contact me.
