Do not underestimate the value of prayer. If talking out your feelings with a sympathetic friend can help, how much more will pouring out your heart to “the God of all comfort” help you!—2 Corinthians 1:3.

Connie,

I just found out about Mr. Dahlberg's passing. Candace and I still correspond by e-mail and she notified me of his death today.
Please know that you have my prayers and deepest sympathy. I will pray for Mr. Dahlberg at my weekly visit to our local Adoration Chapel. He was a fine gentleman and will be sorely missed. I am so glad that he was a part of my life, even if for only a short while. I will always treasure his memory and my time with him and you at St. Mary Galvanizing.

I love you daddy and miss you so much!!!!

Catherine Stokes

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.


There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so, so sorry for the loss. Over the years I've thought of Mr. Dahlberg many, many times. We had many facinating convesations when I worked for him. I'll never forget him. He was one of a kind.

My thoughts are with you Connie and family.

You're in my prayers, Connie, Catherine, and Kirsten. Mr. Dahlberg was a FABULOUS boss. He modeled intergrity, honesty, charity, love of family, and business smarts. He remains extremely influential in my life.

Fritz was a kind gentleman and a valuable contributor to the community. It was a pleasure to have known him.

Dear Connie Family:

It is difficult to tell you how deeply I feel about Fritz's untimely death. Losing one's husband can cause a loneliness unlike any other.

With your fortitude and courage I am sure you will adjust to your new situation. I know you are grateful for the many happy years you shared with Fritz.

As I recall Fritz and you offered to be my host family forty one years ago when I arrived New Orleans as a Tulane student from Japan and our friendship has prospered and continued ever since.

May Fritz's spirit rest in peace in eternal love of the Lord.

Respectfully,

Fritz & Sadaye Parham

Dear Connie & Family,
I just wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss. I didn't know Fritz as long as others who may write in his guest book, but that sure doesn't mean that I cared for him any less. I will always remember him in his searsucker suit and tie, full of life and always sharing his positive attitude, his wisdom, his zest for life, with everyone that he encountered. He was very special to me and I have a place in my heart for him always. He was a great man and I learned a lot from him. I will always consider you both like my family and if there is ever anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to call me...
Love,
Steffie ~
