Schaefer Jr., Ralph G.
Dear Schaefers,
I just wanted to let you know how much I thought of your father. When I went home in the spring and fall to help our parents, we'd go to church at St. James. Your dad was very active there, and we always had great conversations. He was a really nice man, and I was very sad to hear the news of his death from Bill. I'm sorry that we can't come to his memorial, he was at our dad's last year. I'm not sure that our mother will be able to arrange a ride to the memorial, but she's said to me that she hopes to be there. We'll all be there in spirit!
Dear Greg and family,
From my personal experiences, I understand how difficult these days are, but, as time goes by, all the memories of your father and mother will become increasingly sweet. Knowing you, you've already remembered many of the joyous occasions growing up with your parents.
Seeing your father's photo, there is no denying whose son you are!
Patty and I and the Total Communications family wish you and yours our sincerest sympathy.
Greg,Ann and Jean,
The time has passed so quickly...
I cannot express in words what you and your family have given to all of us.
Ralph was comforting to me in the passing of Lloyd, we spoke of all of you and the wonderful times we spent together. His eyes lite up with joy and tears of happiness well up within both or our eyes as we remembered times gone by. He spoke highly of you and your children. His love was unconditional.
All of our lives have been blessed with your father's kindness and words of caring and sage advice. Cry not that he is passed but rejoice in that we all shared his love.
With all my love to you and yours.
Willy
