Dear Reverend Oechsle,
I'm so sorry to have just learned today of fear Mrs. Oechsle's passing!!! She always welcomed me into your home with a smile when Elaine and I were grade schoolers in Columbia City. :-)
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family -- I know how very much she is missed already, but know how very lovingly she will always be remembered in our (and others ') hearts.
Love always, Jayne and Danny XO

Dear Harold, my prayers are with you upon the passing of Martha. I remember you being by my side with your hand on my shoulder as I was ordained. I have always remembered that (about 1974.) Blessings upon you. Paul Fulp

Harold, on behalf of not only me and my wife, Mary, but also the congregation at Winamac First UMC -- many members of which still remember with deep gratitude your ministry among them -- I want to just say how our hearts ache for you and your family in your loss. Please know that we are praying for you, that God might grant you comfort and strength in the days ahead.

What an inspiration and joy Martha and you were to me in the years we shared at Covenant, Harold. I sincerely thank God for her influence in my life and pray He will comfort you and your family in your sorrow.

I know this woman was very special to Joyce Ellen Rinker, so for that reason, I know Martha must have been a very special person. I am so sorry for your loss. Love you, Joyce Ellen.
