I am so sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences at this time. This is truly a travesty, Ecc.9:11 says that "time and unexpected events overtake us all" but the bible also tells us at Isaiah 26:19 that "your dead ones will live...they will rise up". Something that I have found to be a great source of comfort are the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28,29 where we see that there is going to be a resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in death. Also Revelation 21:4 we see that God is going to eliminate all of the causes for why we deal with sorrow, pain and even death itself. This gives us the hope to see our dead loved ones again. To hear their laugh and see their smile. My prayers and condolences are with the family. It is my sincere hope that these thoughts bring your family, comfort at this time. Once again I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for you loss- I extend my deepest sympathies- My thoughts are with you this Easter Season Randy Szymanski (DC 83)
Dear Peg,
Sending my deepest sympathy to you and the family. The loss of Kathryn was posted on the St. Catherine's Class of '67 Facebook page. We are so sorry to hear of your loss, and will keep you in our prayers.
God Bless,
Patti (Kohlman) Mand
Don and Peg, I do not know either of you very well, but what I do know is that you are both kind, gentle people who are now living with a broken heart. A few years ago, you Don, sang at a memorial service at Pontiac Park for those of us who have had children of ours enter eternal life before us, the parents. Don, while you were singing so beautifully, Peg, you were holding an umbrella over the both of us, as I wept for my son. Peg, you were very compassionate and kind. I hope that in your time of sorrow I or others around you can provide you with that same comfort you provided for me. May the love of the Lord embrace you all.
Peace and Prayers- Mary Rose
Don, Peg and Family-
We are so sorry for your loss, while we didn't know Kate we knew her in spirit by all the wonderful stories you shared with us. Know that we are lifting you up in our prayers during this time of sorrow.
