Dear Mrs. Kaminski and family, Andy will be greatly missed. I told my girls that Andy was the man that always remembered my name - it was never any of my other sisters' names. Most people forget there is a fifth Pagel daughter, but not Andy!! My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Grace, Geri and Jim, We are sincerely sorry for your loss. Andy was a good man. Jerry and I always remember stopping by the lake with you guys to check on Mom and Dad, really to get a piece of pie and how Andy would have a twinkle in his eye as he put his gloves on and remove "Buffy" from my lap as he would tell me "He no bite". It will get easier and the memories brighter.

Dear Geri and Jim,

Your Dad was always so kind to me. I remember his smile and welcome whenever we'd see each other.
I know you'll miss him terribly and I am so sorry you must experience more pain.
My Dad had a phrase he'd use when I couldn't see up from down, "well, I guess the sun will come up tomorrow anyway." It didn't especially like hearing it at the time, but the years have proven it to be true...but unfortunately it takes time.

Dear Grace,

It doesn't seem to matter when God takes His children home...young, middle aged,
old. Grieving is still part of the process of recovering from loss. That's the hard part and I'm sorry you must experience sorrow.
