Dear Mr. Joe and family,
Words seem inadequate to express the loss and heartache you are all experiencing right now. We pray that you find light through the dark and difficult days ahead. May the many happy memories you shared bring you peace and comfort. We know there is nothing we can say that will make this any easier to bear, but know that you all will be in our thoughts and prayers. We know she will be dearly missed. May she rest in peace and may you all find some peace as you take this difficult journey. Remember she will live on in your hearts and memories and she is looking down from Heaven now with love and pride. Stephen and Nanette Krentel

Aunt Pauline was always smiling and made everyone feel wanted and appreciated. We will all miss you dearly. Words cannot describe the feeling of loss, however, it is comforting to know that you are at peace looking down on us all with that warmth and kindness that you have shown to all of us. When I was a child your "Santa" letters made Christmas seem that much more magical, thank you.
Love to Joe, Helen and all that were blessed to have known her.

Aunt Pauline:

Words can't describe how saddened I am and how you will be so very much missed. You always brought a smile to my face whenever we talked. You were very special to me and I will keep you close to me in my heart. You never missed sending a card to me for every surgery I had just to tell me to get well and you were thinking of me. I love you so very much and I'll keep Uncle Joe, Helen and the family in my prayers.
