I am so sorry for your loss. I met Sue and Pastor's parents in the hall outside the ICU at Aspirus. My husband was hospitalized for 1 week. We hugged and I said prayers although I did not know your name at the time. My deepest condolences. What an amazing man.

We are so sorry for your loss. Pastor Weiland did the funeral services for both my father and mother (Milton and Hazel Jehn) and he did such a wonderful job! And I know my mom and dad thought the world of him!! Your entire family will be in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

To Sue and family,
Jim was a great pastor and friend when he served at First Evan in Racine. We will always remember his great laugh and compassion. Sue was in our mission circle and the kids went to school with our boys. We miss you since you've been gone! May God's arms hold you close in these sad times. Jim will always watch over you.
