My dear friend Chris and family,

I was saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved father, husband, grandfather,and father-in-law Joseph Albert. While I only had the honor of meeting him briefly, I knew immediately that he was a man of integrity, compassion, and love. You only need to know any of his children to know who he was.

My prayers and thoughts are with you all as you find yourselves being held tightly and gently in the arms of our loving Father, as you walk through this difficult time.

May you hold on to each other and our blessed Savior as you remember with joy your loved one.

In Christ,
Martha Rittenburg and family

Dearest Mike & Family,

My heart is aching as I sit, as we did a little over a year ago for Carol and my sister, and read of your brother's loss. I do know your pain and feel for your loss.

My prayers and thoughts are with each of you during this most difficult time.

Mike & Kathy, please know if you need anything I'm here.

Blessings,
