Dear Kaiser Family,
Please accept my sincerest condolences on the death of your father. I just thought that he would keep on serving the poor in the St. Vincent de Paul until God took him to heaven in a firey chariot!! I'm currently in Upper Michigan doing some studying and writing, so I am unable to be with you in person. You and your mom and dad will be remembered in my prayers and Mass. I thought the world of your mom and dad -- good, kind, gentle people, faithful to God and the Church. Don't forget to turn to them when you need help. They can still help us -- more now perhaps than before. Love and God Blessings.
