This is such a difficult time for all concerned. I just wanted to tell all of you what a great impact Wolfe had on my life. He was absolutely good to me and was there, always, in a time of crisis in my life. His heart was as big as the ocean. I will miss the German lessons. He was teaching me more and more words and I just loved that. We enjoyed going out to eat, walking, talking, just being together doing nothing but enjoying one another, and going for rides. He loved watching old movies and would get wrapped up in it totally. His family was everything to him. He enjoyed getting those phone calls and family get togethers. Church was so important to him also. He went every Sunday and truly enjoyed going. His next love was going American Family Fitness everyday. Exercise was a way of life for him. Please except my sincere sympathy and let me know if I can be of help to the family in any way. He will truly be missed in my life. Love you forever, Wolfe.

While I did not know Wolfgang personally, I knew of the family he raised and of the joy he brought to others. May the Monse family be blessed in this time of grief and sorrow, and find the strength to celebrate Wolfgang's life!

Donna, Peter and David,
I am sorry for your loss. Though I did not know "Wolfie" well; he always had a smile and a kind word to share with me.
I am here if you need me.
Love,
Nancychen
