Joan and Family,
I am sorry to hear of Mr. Theis’s passing. I have deep respect for Joan. She loves her father and many many of those around her. The stories she tells me about her father arouse my curiosity and affection for your whole family. I am sure that much of the excellence and heart that I see in Joan and her family is due to Mr. Theis. He will surely be missed. I hope you can find little blessings throughout the coming days despite your loss.
I was very sorry to hear about your dad. I know you were so close to him and he appreciated all you have done these last several months living with him and making his life happy. I’ll be thinking of and praying for you and your family. Take care and cherish the good times. Peg
Joan and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take time with family and friends to share the wonderful memories of his life.

Please know that we are keeping you in our prayer time, and our sympathies to you and your family.
Enjoy all the stories and memories of Dad (and Mom). You will meet again (on the golf course?)

Ruth, Jim, Alex and Corky too!
My deepest sympathy to all of you on the death of your Dad. My Dad, Bill, has been gone 9 years now, and I still miss him. My Mom, Harriet, is 94 and lives in a beautiful assisted living home three blocks from our house here in Aitkin. She has macular degeneration and is legally blind, but is enjoying where she lives. I was going through some of her pictures recently and saw some of us when we were kids, dressed in our Easter outfits. I still remember Vicki’s braids and when Marcia was born. Does that make me old or what! I also remember all the fun we had playing outside after dark in the summer. May you remember all the wonderful memories you have of your Dad. God bless you as you grieve his loss.
Hi Joan,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your father. It is hard to lose a parent, no matter what age. You have been a wonderful, caring and loving daughter.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Joan, and your family.
Hugs & God’s blessings,
Sharon
