It is difficult at such a time to know what words to say, but may God be with you always to sustain you day by day. I wish God's comfort for you and your family. Today you are in my thoughts, tonight I will remember you in my prayers. I will remember Wilhelm at mass and walk the Stations of the Cross in his name. I pray that Wilhelm will look down on us and ask God to protect and guide us and will be there to greet us when we arrive.
