Dear Wanda,
I was shocked and sadden to hear of Les passing. Lin and I ALWAYS enjoyed seeing him and you. He always had a smile and kind words. Sending prayers and sympathies to you and your family at this time.
Please know you are always in my thoughts. I know Linda would say the same if she were here.
Sincerely,
Kathy Buddensick

Wanda, it's been such a joy to get to know you and Les these past several years. He was a great man and will be missed. God's blessings and peace to you and your entire family, and I look forward to when we can celebrate his triumphant entry into His kingdom together!

Dear Wanda and family,
How wonderful for me to get acquainted especially with you, Wanda, and then to meet Les one Sunday at church. Bill had met him too and both of us were impressed by his quiet Christian confidence in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Both of you exemplified the steady growth of faith we are promised by unfailing attention paid to Word and Sacrament.
Wanda, I know our church family as well as your blood family will surround you with love and that you will not be apart from Jesus in the months and years to come.
His is risen! Alleluia!
Love,
Jan Dieterichs
