Sharon and Family -

I was so sorry to see the notice of your father's passing in todays St. L. Post-Dispatch. I know these days are hard but I know you have many wonderful memories and photos (as I looked at those posted online) that will keep you connected to your father and keep his memory alive for you.

He is with his Eternal Maker and is at peace, free of pain, discomfort or anything unpleasant he may have been experiencing.

Peace and Blessings,
Connie Caldwell

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I spent a lot of summers at Mr. & Mrs. Gottshall's house as a child swimmign in their pool. He was such a wonderful person to be around. And so funny.

We have such special memories of times spent with Uncle Wayne and Aunt Dolores. Visits to St. Louis were always vacation highlights for our family. We were so glad for our time together in April 2010. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Trusting the Lord to be your help and strength. Much love and many hugs to all of you!
