Dear Jean, Clyde, Lois and Joan, I am sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Rosemary Dinkle sent me the newspaper clipping. I have so many good memories of you and your parents. I now live with my daughter in Rhode Island and she is writing this for me. My prayers are with you, sincerely,

Dear Al, my deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of Ave, my cousin, a devoted wife, mother and a sweet and gentle woman. I chose her to be a bridesmaid at my wedding so many years ago. I cherish many fond memories of Ave.
I was unable to attend the celebration of her life at church but my prayers are daily offered for her. She has joined the choirs of angels in heaven with Our Lord to enjoy eternal peace. She is a shining star in heaven.
May the peace of the Lord be with all of you. Peace and prayers,
Mary Ann Smith

My deepest condolences on your loss.

My deepest sympathies to you on your mother’s passing.  She was an amazing lady who lived every moment, bringing joy and a singularly positive outlook to all around her.  I know how much you will miss her. 
I’m so sorry I missed the funeral this morning.  Best laid plans and all that.  But know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during your grief.  Just remember her courage, delightful approach to life and dedication to her family.  She will remain with you in your hearts forever.
All my love,
Laura Douglas

The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone we love.
May today’s sorrow give way to the peace and comfort of God’s Love.

Dear Tom and Toni,
I know your hearts are saddened by the great loss of your dear mother. You are all in my prayers and thoughts as I know your deep pain. I also know you at peace that she no longer suffers and that is some comfort. Her life was a tribute to all that was good and fine and each of her children carry that with them and continue to show the world. I love you both. God is with you now and always, as he said he would never leave us or forsake us. Love Gray

My thoughts and prayers go out to you in this difficult time. Mrs.
Schreder leaves behind a wonderful legacy of love as demonstrated by her wonderful children and grandchildren. God Bless.

Uncle Al, Tom, Greg, Susan, Carole and David–
I am so saddened by the loss of Aunt Ave.  I will never forget the way she looked after me when I was ill.  She would send little cards and gifts and call regularly.  She was an amazing woman whom I loved dearly.
I am keeping you all in my prayers as you go through this tough time. 
We have lost our earth angel and gained a guardian angel.
She will never be forgotten.
Blessings to you all.
Love, Paula

Dear Carol and family,
I was so sad to receive the news about your mothers passing. She was a wonderful person who was a pleasure to be around. I always enjoyed seeing her whenever we got together for our parties. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during what I know is a very difficult time for you and your family. She will be missed by many. Our most sincere condolences,
Leslie Reese and family

I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I know, from what you told me, that she put up a courageous fight. Please be comforted in the fact that she is at peace with our Savior, Jesus Christ. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.

Dear Uncle Al and family,
I just wanted to let you all know that we won’t be able to make the funeral but that the Indianapolis Gluntzes are praying for you all during this time.
I also wanted to let you all know how much I cherish the childhood memories of our trips to Lancaster. You were all a great blessing to me.
Finally, there is a 10th Gluntz child alive and kicking in his/her mother’s womb and should be born around March 2nd of 2009. Please pray that the remaining days until birth would go well.
If you ever make the trip to Chicago to see Russ and Susan and want to make a detour to Indianpolis for an overnight stay in our home, we would love to show you some Southern-seasoned (from 10 years in Memphis, TN), Gluntz hospitality.
Blessings,
Doug & Cathy, Micah, Emily, Jonathan, Ellyn, Benjamin, Noah, Elisabeth, Abigail, Analiese and ???

My condolences to your family.  Tom, I remember your mom from the Christmas parties at your house during high school.  I will always remember her warmth.  You are all in my prayers. 
Sincerely,

Tom and Toni, Greg, Sue and Carol, 
Your mom was a wonderful person. For the  short moments after playing backyard basketball or ping-pong downstairs at your place while we were growing up, she was a real pleasure to be around.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during what I know is a very difficult time for you and your family. She will be missed by many.
Our most sincere condolences,
Greg and Jeanne Goldbach
