Dear Nancy, Jean & Jane,

Offering sincere sympathy to you and Your mother. Your parents were such a vital, steady presence at St. Paul's. Their life of love and committment to church and each other is a fine example for all of us. Our prayers are with you as you work through the days challenges.

Dear Kopp Family,

I was saddened to hear of your loss. Ray was someone I really have missed since moving to CO as he was one person I always enjoyed talking with. Even if we didn't agree he made me think and I learned a lot from him. I feel blessed to have known him. You have my deepest sympathy. God Bless you and God Bless Ray.
