Dear S. Carol & Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you deal with the passing of your father/grandfather. I have such fond memories of your parents. Your dad has joined your mom now in the Kingdom and with our God. It is our faith that can soothe the pain with the loss of a loved one. It is faith that summons us to believe that Joseph's "life is simply changed not ended." I hold you in prayer during this time of sorrow.
Sincerely,
Fr....

Sorry for the loss of your loved one. I'm sure he will be deeply missed.
But remember he is in a better place today.

Please accept my condolences for the death of Joe. I lived in Hales Corners and we went to the store all the time. My daughter would not have anyone else take care of her diamonds (they were her grandmas). He is in a wonderful place. My father's house has many rooms!

I would like to express my sincere sympathies to Joe's family. I am glad to have known him through our VFW Post 10394.
Joe was always a pleasure to visit with.
It was my honor to chauffer him in past Veteran's Day Parades.
I regret I will be unable to attend his farewell service, I am in Washington DC for my Navy reunion.
