Ill never forget when I met Mr Rabenort. His home is just down the street from our cabin. He was driving around in his golf cart. I had been told by a neighbor that he had recently lost his wife. I flagged him down to give my condolences & apologize for not reaching out earlier. He was the nicest man I had ever met. He told me that I was the first person to pronounce his name correctly when meeting.... he chuckled & acted pleased.
From then on I tried to run into him every time we were...

The entire Brandt family will forever have fond memories of your family. Your dad and mom both were lifelong precious friends of our parents. Please know that our hearts are heavy for your loss but we are rejoicing because we know our daddy was right beside your momma and greeted him upon his entry. Much love to you all.
