We all find it hard to believe that Konrad is no longer here with us in the same way. Our family continues to hold him close to us in our hearts and often we share memories at the dinner table about him. Shortly before he was diagnosed, he showed Grace how to swim in the deep end of a pool despite her intense fear. He was such a loving person who embraced life! Love to Deb, Kane and Matt

Deb, Matt, & Kane;
I thank God for his amazing grace. God always gives us the grace we need to continue in this life and in the next. God's grace was there for Conrad so that he could continue living in eternity with Him. As time passes we are all closer to seeing God's gift of grace manifested in our lives. We pray that His grace will be more than enough for your every need.
Love;
Frank and Lynn

I will never forget the last time Konrad stopped by, just for some conversation. We had many talks over the years but that one will always be special to me. He was a very special caring man, that was well respected in our family. Deb, Matt and Kane, We will see you soon! Lots of Love, Kathryn, Clint, Kris, Jamie, Kyle and Ryan.
