Judy and Family, I just learned of your Dad passing away tonight. I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of your Dad and his patience with all you girls. I hope you can feel the arms of your loving Savior wrapped around you; giving you the peace only He can give. I hope you know you are not alone. It is never goodbye; only until we meet again. And oh what a party that will be! Sending lots of love and hugs.

My heart goes out to Ruthanne and the Lothamer Family. Since my wife passed away nearly four years ago, Bernard and Ruthanne have been an inspiration and a source of solace to me as they came to daily Mass on Monday and Thursday, warmly setting an example of compassion, friendliness, and love. Thank you and God Bless, Bernard and Ruthanne!
