Deb, boys & family – My heart goes out to you all during this difficult time. I have fond memories of learning how to “cut in” properly with a paint brush by John and you, Deb (and I think of that every time I accidentally hit the ceiling). We worked hard but he also knew when to tell us it was time to sit down and take a break in the day and enjoy conversation. I’m sure there are more memories that will be shared by your friends and family to celebrate his life! ~Nicki (Ries) McCurdy

Mike and Jamie and Reicherts family so sorry for your’e loss. In you’re in my thoughts and prayers
Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. This is one of the most difficult things we must face in our life. May it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. God assures us at Psalms 34:18 that he is near to those broken in heart and those crushed in spirit he saves. Jesus also promises that we will be able to see our loved ones again. Jesus own words found at John 5:28,29 tells us there will be a resurrection. What a wonderful hope! God says that soon on the earth there will be no more pain, suffering and especially death at Revelation 21:3-5 We anxiously await the day when we will no longer lose those we love. May these bible thoughts bring you comfort at this most difficult time
Prayers are with the all the family. May Our Lord and savior give you the strength you need during this time.
Reicherts’ Family, Sorry to have heard the sad news about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time.
