Dear Delma,
Even with the little contact I had with Dale at New Life, he always impressed me with his encouraging attitude. He will certainly be missed. Over time the pain of the immediate loss will lessen, but my prayer is that the Lord will strengthen you as you are grieving now and as you recall the wonderful memories of Dale.

Delma and Family,
Please know how much Dale meant to us...God brought you guys to CCC (Community Church of Chesapeake, http://ccconfire.org) several years ago and within a year Dale was leading Evangelism ministry and leading many souls to Christ! Dale and I personally knocked on doors in my neighborhood and invited them to CCC or prayed with them if they needed prayer.

Him and I use to joke how much he disliked the Cowboys (I'm a big Dallas fan) and how much he loved the Redskins. You guys also took us out to Lynnhaven Fish House for lunch. I do not know your pain right now, I only know that we love you guys and that God, your friends, and family are the only ones that can help you through this difficult time.

We are holding you up in Prayer and love the Wolfgang family very much. Thanks for loaning Dale to us. He is now in the hands of God, whom he loved and served with all his Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength.

TO Delma and family I'am very sorry may GOD continue to bless the family Eugene Half Howard former co worker.

Dear sweet Delma and family, you are lifted up in so many hearts and in our prayers. There are truly so many wonderful memories of Wolf and his ministry to people, and Delma you right along beside him. He cared and had great compassion for all people. Wolf was an excellent teacher because he was a gifted communicator. We kind of started in ministry together at FAM and his encouragement to us, and so many others meant so very much. Wolf touched our lives and we are thankful to have known him. Delma, God's Grace IS sufficient. With our sincerest sympathy, Steve and Denise Geissinger

Delma and family,
Words can never ever express the deep pain that is felt when we lose someone so close and dear to us. So many questions and never enough answers...but Wolf will always be remembered for his smile and humor and his passion for Christ. I pray that Father God will draw each of you closer and closer to Him, and that the spirit of peace and comfort will engulf your household. Wolf will be missed but never forgotten...all my love extended to your family...

My condolences to the family. Wolf always had a smile on his face whenever I saw him. His true concern for others and to make everything better is one of the things I admired about him but his love for God and to spread His word was the ONE thing he carried in his heart with his love for his family.

I remember us both being at the meeting for new members to meet pastors at Faith Alive. He was so easy to talk to and so very nice. He did so much to help Faith Alive and was an encouragement to those who knew him. He will surely be missed. My thought and prayers are with the whole family and Delma I miss & love you too. You were both just beautiful people.
