I was so sadden by the news of your loss. My heart and prayers goes out to each of you as Cornelius was so dear to me. Whenever the opportunity presented itself for us to see each other we would always rejoice in that "Steiner Love" that we had for each other. May the joy of the Lord be your strength as you celebrate Cornelius getting his wings and returning home to the Father. And may your hearts be filled with the wonderful memories of the joyful times you've shared.
