Condolences
You are in my thoughts and in my prayers during this time of sorrow. May Our Lord give you His comfort, peace and strength.
In sympathy,
Sister M. Fidelis Rolfes, SLW”
So sorry to learn of the passing of your son. It's always heartbreaking when we loose a loved one but when that loved one is a child, it seems to hurt that much more. May God wrap you in His amazing love and surround you with His Grace. May you find comfort in knowing that we will all see him later when we join him in our "real" home in Heaven. Your son is waiting there for us.
Now that I am retired from Bank Iowa in Schleswig, I don't get to see a lot of my friends and acquaintances but I think of you often and hope that someday we can still visit you and go for that fishing event as we planned. May God Grant you HIS eternal peace.
