Our hearts are sad for you as you grieve the loss of your precious Wife, Mom and Oma. The last time I saw Tante Alice she had such peace about dying. The love in Uncle Alfred’s eyes as he so wonderfully cared for her in sickness and health was a beautiful reminder about what life and love are all about. Keeping you all in our prayers. Praying God would make you so aware of HIs comfort. Love Carol
Heartfelt condolences and regards from Ron & Michelle Gietz and family.
