I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Wetzel. I met him as the grandpa of young Wetzel boy scouts with Troop 43. My life has been enriched by meeting him…even for a few short years. What a wonderfully smart and caring man God shared with us on the earth for 85 years. My deepest sympathy to the Wetzel family. He will be greatly missed.
Dear Eileen:So sorry for your loss and for your entire family. David was so kind to help Melvin with his veggie car. And I always enjoyed having you in our bible study. Melvin & I have been fighting a virus type cold or we would be there with you today. Eileen take care of yourself and may God give you the comfort you need.In Christian lovePhyllis & Melvin
To the Wetzel Family,We see the signs of late autumn and the changing seasons all around us. Knowing with certainty that the seasons follow one another helps us understand God's ways in nature and in our lives. In each of our different seasons in life, we aspire to share and learn with others. A parent is GodÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s gift to help us learn the lessons of life.When we ponder on our time in life, the words of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 often come to mind;To every thing there is a season,and a time to every purpose under the heaven:A time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;A time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;A time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;A time to get, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;A time to rend, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;A time to love, and a time to hate;a time of war, and a time of peace. Throughout our time, we believe that God makes His Presence known to each of us. Often it is through the people that help us grow in wisdom and understanding. DavidÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s legacy will live in the many lives he has touched. We hope that time will help to heal the sense of loss that you feel. We hope that your memories of his life will continue to serve as an inspiration for a life of purpose lived with a generous spirit.May God bless your family at this time and always.Tim, Kathy, Tristan & Kerry Lee
