Not sure what to say?

Daddy today is difficult for me as I wish I could be giving you a hug from you little girl who is not so little any longer. You would be so proud of where I am in my life right now. I have finally found my way back to church. I am in the Saint George 3rd Ward. I just finished Sacrament and heading to Sunday School now. Church is now only 2 hours and seems to short to fit everything in. Happy Father's Day Daddy I love you and I will see you again when my time comes to join you. ...

I think of Karl - Heinz a lot lately. He was one of a kind and when I look at his photo, my memory of him is so vivid as if he is right here still with us, enriching our day. He was so full of life, witty, sharp, fearless, charming. To this day I feel incredibly honoured to have been able to meet him. I was a German Temple Square sister missionary in 2004/2005, and ran into him occasionally. I could have listened to his stories for hours. What I loved most was him always sharing his opinion...

Mike Gardner of Cottonwood Heights remembers him putting gold leaf in many of the old Stake buildings in Salt Lake City. Mike Gardner mentioned that he was a dedicated craftsman.

Never too late to sign a guest book, I hope. I moved into Brother Schnibbe's ward in 2000. In my history class, we had to do a presentation about a historical figure. I asked Brother Schnibbe if I could interview him for the assignment. He was so kind with me and was happy to share with me his stories and experiences during Nazi Germany. From that experience, I always felt a sweet bond towards him and later in 2006, I was overjoyed to introduce my fiancé to him in the Salt Lake Temple. ...

I am doing a report about your father for my language assignment when i heard your fathers name it stuck out to me. I don't know why but from what I've researched on your father i think he is one of the greatest heroes of his time and i was very proud to have him as the person i was researching and i am very sorry about your loss.

I would like to thank everyone for writing such beautiful comments about my Father. He was a very special man whom always had an open mind and a big heart. He was never one to judge another human being on what they had done. Not once do I ever remember him getting angry or even raising his voice at myself as a child for something stupid I had done. He would just tell me what his opinion was and how he would have gone about doing such a thing. His spirit is now amoung us all and we can...

Joan, My greatest condolence at the loss of Karl-Heinz. I only met you once at the occasion of my Brother Otto's funeral. I know you were a great blessing and comfort to Karl. He truly endured many things and he had many challenges in his life. Through it he carried on well. My remembrances of Karl go back to Hamburg during some of the difficult times. He will meet many friends on the other side. His pain and suffering has ceased. Ludwig Berndt.

I just saw him on the BYU-TV days before I received my Mormon Times. As soon as my husband came home from work, I was telling him all about the show. It brought tears to my eyes. May your family be at peace.
