Arthur Delano Bechtel

To Arthur's family,
I did not know your dad, but in doing Bechtel family tree research, I came across his recent obiturary. Your grandfather, Elmer, was my grandfather Harvey's twin brother. I am just now discovering family members that I did not know existed. I am so sorry that I did not find your father much sooner. Please accept my sympathy on your loss. If any of you would like to do so, I would appreciate being contacted. I will check the email link with this entry. Thank you.

Dad,
"The Broken Chain"
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone; For part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us by one, the chain will link...

To the Family,
We are sorry to hear about your loss. Now is the time to reflect on the good and apply the lessons learned and embrace the love that was shared. May your father rest in peace and may his smile last forever in your hearts. Stay well and in touch.
Strength, courage & wisdom....
Sincerely,
Lisa Chase-Craig & The "Chase" Family

Dear Old Friend,
My prayer is for your family to remember all the smiles and good times and laughter, may they think of only the good times you had with them.
I remember your mother Edie, sister Mary Ellen and you as very good neighbors in the late 1950s.
The Lord blessed you with many children, and many friends. See you soon Old Friend.

DAD,
God saw you were getting tired,and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,We could not make you stay.A golden heart stopped beating ,hard working hands to rest;God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the Best.
(Thank You For Being My Dad)
You Will Always Be Missed Funny Face.Love Always Your Daughter, Yvonne

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Ayy papa!!! It's been a long fight. I always knew you were strong. But to hold on that long,I told you you were a real "G" ;)

Even though the last thing you wanted was to stay around here the way you would have, I miss you like crazy already! I hope it's way better up there. Just keep shining down on us, We'll never forget you! And I love you with all my heart.

Matter fact, I can hear your voice like you always told every one of us, every single time you saw us..Sometimes even...
