I sat with your loved one during the wee hours of the morning starting January 7th and was amazed that he was the person responsible for the architect of the Menonite Church. May your hearts soon be filled with the wonderful memories of his life and know that his legacy will live on through the many churches he designed in the Valley. May the peace of the Lord be with your family during these days ahead.
