Condolences to the Family

December 31, 2022

The Sauter and Walker cousins send out deepest condolences on the passing of Charlie. Bill Walker (son of the late Ruth Sauter Walker) recently saw Charlie’s obituary and then shared it with the Sauter cousins. 
I live in Lancaster County, and I had no idea that Charlie and Carol live so close. My dad, Victor D Sauter, who passed in 2016, was Charlie’s first cousin. I believe the last time my family saw you all was at his dad Bill’s funeral in New Milford. It would be wonderful to reconnect with Carol and cousins, and I can be reached at:

My mom, Marion Sauter, also lives in Lancaster County. 
I apologize that this condolence is late, but I will still keep you all in prayer. 
Sincerely,
Brenda Sauter Barnes
