I found a funeral card for Mr. Rediehs here at Winter Park Hospital in Florida. I know how cherished these cards can be and I'd hate to think that someone may of lost it. If you can think of anyone who would have had this card here in the Winter Park/Orlando area I would love to get it back to them. Very sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry that I was unable to attend your beloved father's funeral, but I just found out about his passing. Thank you for sharing yourselves with me in the nursing home during one of Dad's last days - he and you have been and will continually be in my prayers. You said that Dad had given everything to his children - and in return, his children gave to him, especially by being with him during his last days here on earth.

Dad was at peace those last days, one could see it. What a Blessing from God!

I wish I had known you all better and longer, but at least we had our short time together. Know that when you depart to go to your own corners of the world, my thoughts and prayers shall go with you. We are all united in Him.....

In Christ,
