I have lots of wonderful memories of growing up with the Culver clan! I’m so very sorry Julie, Laura & Mike on the loss of your Dad. May you find comfort with those warm memories as well. Prayers are coming your way along with some hugs. Take care, Sue

Holy God, who with a father’s love wipes away our tears and makes all manner of things well, look with tenderness and affection on the members of the Culver family who are suffering pain and loss.
Heal their grief, strengthen their faith; help them to understand that all separations, however traumatic, are only temporary and that together with You we will all be young again and all laugh again.
I ask this through Jesus your Son. Amen

Tod was a good man, faithful to the Cathedral and the church people. Tod had a deal with my Mom, made many years ago; the first one to pass away was to baked the funeral ham for the other. My Mom is 95 and can’t see very well to cook, but I think she would agree, this needs to happen! It’s a memory that will never die. To the family, may you know that Tod will never be forgotten! My sincere sympathy to all.

Julie, I am so sorry for your loss! I know he’s in a better place, and his passing isn’t a surprise, but he did make a positive difference while here on Earth. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
