My heartfelt wishes go out to the Woell family. I remember so fondly all the time I spent in their household when Mary and I were going to St. Aug’s together. Sophie had such an infectious laugh, and I just thought she was hilarious. She will be so warmly remembered by me.

With our love and prayers to your family at this time.
Dear Marcus,
I am one of the Oblates that attends our monthly meetings at St. John’s. Rick Koetter told me of your wife’s death and I wanted to extend my sympathy to you. From the picture in the obituary, she looks like she was a very lovely woman. And from the write up it’s obvious that she touched many lives with her care and nursing skills, as well as her gifts as wife, mother and grandma. I’m sure she treasured your love and devotion to her and that you will miss her terribly. I’m sorry I couldn’t be at the wake today nor will I be able to attend her funeral, but I will be remembering you in prayer and look forward to extending my sympathy to you in person at St. John’s in the future. May God’s peace fill you & comfort you.
Sincerely,
Pat Giesen
Cold Spring, MN
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Uncle Marcus, along with your entire family.
