Dear Christina, Bob & Family,

Words cannot express how heartbroken Father Bill and I are over David's death. We long to wrap our arms around you to make the pain and grief pass!

We take some comfort in the knowing that when he died David was doing something he loved passionately. Believe that at the last David flew straight into the arms of Christ, into that blue sky and Eternal Spring where, God willing, David and we will live with Him forever.

We pray for David and for you and, in the future, whenever we offer the prosphora at St. Nicholas, a piece for David will be on the paten.

Our deepest condolences.

Fr. Bill and Kh. Dianna Olnhausen

I wish I was there to comfort all of you. Bob, Tina, Maria, Sophia, Catherine, and Natalie, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Joe, Joey, Jackie, and the entire family may you feel prayers wrap around you and lift you up during this difficult time. I am blessed to have been able to see David while there last summer. He was wanting to fly that day, too. He was talking football and of hunting, and starting a new school. Memories are forever and lean on them. God will provide ways to get you through this. I love you all and continued prayers. Love and hugs, Kimberly Speicher and family
