Dear Levenhagen family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you with the passing of your dad. I know this becomes even more difficult since this was your last parent living. It is our faith that summons us to believe that your dad's "life is simply changed, not ended." I hope that strengthens you at this time. I hold you in prayer.

In the Risen Christ,
Fr. Marv Knighton
