Richard G. Scharfenberg

Dear Judy and Family - You only have to meet Richard once to know his love for God and family and others. May you find the peace he so much would want you to have during this time of loss. Keep your eyes on Jesus and He will lead you.

Dad, it's been a little more than a month since you left to be with Jesus. I miss you so much but I'm so happy you're whole. Something reminds me of you everyday. I wish you could be here with us forever, but I'll just have to wait and dream of the day when we're all reunited. Love you Papa Scharf.

Dearest Judy-Extending our sincere sympathy and friendship to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy goes to your family for the loss of Richard. I know it is hard to bear, but he is at peace, and more than likely, chatting with Dave and maybe playing cards!! We still have the beautiful covered bridge picture he made after going to see the bridges here in the parks of Cleveland. All our love to you all! Janet, Michelle and Danielle

We send our love, prayers, and gratitude for your love and testimony in our lives.You both are such an example of what the love of Christ is
all about.
Remembering your precious family today.

Love in Him,
Manning and Darlene

Dear Judy and family,
Thank you for the testimony of your lives together as a couple and for your children. What a blessing to know they are following Jesus, as they follow your example. May God continue to show His lovingkindness to thousands (through each generation), to those who love God and keep His commandments (Deut. 5:9). I thank God for Richard's commitment to follow after God to the very end (my Dad, too). "How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, who set their heart...

Judy, I didn't really know Richard however, all those years ago he welcomed me in your home when I was a lost young girl, no questions, no judgement, which I guess was what I needed at the time. Now all these years later I see all the wonderful heartfelt sentiments from your family and extended family and am sorry that we weren't closer and able to see each other more. You are truly the strongest woman I know to have so lovingly cared for him and accomplished what you have. God Be With You....

"There will be no more death, no more sorrow, no more tears, for all things from the past shall become new" (Revelations). Richard has the peace of knowing you and his wonderful family will be comforted by Jesus Christ. It just takes time.
Loving you
Kat
