FOR THE STOLTZFUS FAMILY - especially Johnny D.
Dear Ones: Special love and sympathy to you from Ben and me - mostly I feel it has been such a blessing for you all to have had a wife, mother, and grandmom like Susie. Johnny D. and Susie were the rocks of the family - kept everyone grounded in FAITH and LOVE. It shows in all of you. Isn't it nice to know that you (and we) will see her again - and that she is now having the time of her life!!! (and watching over her loved ones). See you Saturday... God bless....(and I thank Ruthie Umble for letting us know!)
Hugs, Cathy & Ben Raphael
