Thinking and praying for your family on the one year anniversary of Mr. Schwichtenberg's passage to heaven. I remember him as a very remarkable man, father, husband, and employer. Time doesn't heal wounds, but Jesus does. Praying for strength, comfort, and joyful memories at this time. May the Lord bless you abundantly more than you can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Lovingly, Lynn Delikat
