"Lucille and Dvorak Family Members:
On behalf of all parishioners at St. Joseph, I extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to you and your families.
I was one of several from St. Joe's that took communion to Raymond. I was always impressed with his devotion and how much he looked forward to receiving communion. He was meek and mild manner and the Beatitude: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land,? is applicable to Raymond.
The saying goes that when we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that will watch over us. May you take comfort in knowing that you now have an angel who will lovingly watch over you.
Please trust that Raymond is in the warm embrace of the ?Good Lord? and is at peace. His pain and suffering is over and he will enjoy the joys and comforts of heaven.
May the Good Lord bless and comfort you and your families during this time of grief. The members of St. Joseph and I have you and your family members in our thoughts and prayers.
Chuck Ehler
St. Joseph
