Dear Sue, Mike, Ken and family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Always remember the wonderful memories that you have to carry with you always. With prayers and sympathy, Nancy Lader
Dear Sue, I read of Gil’s passing in the paper with sadness for you and your family. And I apologize that I won’t be able to attend his funeral and support you in person. My kids are being very protective of Bob and I. As a result, we agreed to their request to stop attending our church and just watch mass online. My thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow. With my deepest sympathy, Jan Esse
Dear Ken & Family, I was so sorry to hear about your father. Losing a parent is so hard; no matter what age we are, a parent plays a critical role in our lives and the loss is so graet. Please know I am thinking of you and wish you healing in the coming months. Thinking of you and your family, Julie Page Fiege
