Dear Esther and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you temporarily part with your loved one and anticipate the resurrection our Savior promised to His believers. May you find comfort in His words of John 14:3, “I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again…that where I am, there you may be also.”
With our love,
Pastor and Harriet (Blumhorst) Graf

My sweet, precious Daddy. So sad to see you leave us, but also so excited for what
you are now experiencing in Heaven. You were truly an example of Christ’s love and selflessness. I can’t remember a time when you put yourself above someone else, always looking for a way to make life better for someone else – always taking time to smile and visit with whoever was placed in your path. You will be missed, but I am merely waiting until I can be with you again-what a joyous reunion that will be and so very grateful that we share that promise!
Your daughter,
Peggy

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Neibauer’s passing. He was a great neighbor when we lived with our 3 kids at 7 N Cottage by the gas station in the 80’s. He was the hardest working man I ever saw and helped us with our lawn mower more than once. May peace be with the family as they lose one so dear. John and Janie Bramhall, Santa Fe NM (2002-present)

To Mrs. Neibauer and family,
As I traveled to work at the high school, I was also so impressed by Mr. Neibauer. I will miss seeing him working in his yard and in his garage and my thoughts and prayers to his family.

Dear Esther, I was sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. I remember Gary and Hank working together at Midland, and then our visits over a cup of coffee. I understand the sadness you must be feeling now, and I want you to know that I will be praying for you.

Aunt Esther and my cousins,
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Henry’s passing. I only just got to meet him last fall for the first time in my life. The very short time I got to spend with him made me wish I had gotten to meet him earlier in my life. My heart and prayers are with you.
Sandy Mentikov Shelton says
Dear Peggy, Mrs Neibauer & family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. It is so very hard to lose someone so close, but it is such a blessing to know that they are with our Lord and Savior. How blessed we are who put our faith in God, for no matter how difficult it is to bear the pain of parting, we have His promise that one day we’ll be reunited with those who have gone before us to our heavenly home.
Love, Sandy and Wayne Shelton

In Christ’s Love,
