Prayers for the family, deeply sorry for your loss. I knew Mr. Gottfried for many years and I always enjoyed spending time with him if we got the chance. He was so easy to talk to and he loved to share some laughs. He stayed here for 99yrs and 11 months. That's a very long time and now he's gone to get some rest. God Bless the family, I hope all the memories you have of him help get you through.

I love you very much and miss you terribly already. It hasn't really hit me yet that you're actually gone.
