   Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bauer Family during this difficult time. Yesterday was Memorial Day and I thought about Leonard. Now Hubert can rest in the Hands of God and be with loved ones that are in Heaven.

   So sorry to hear of Hubie's passing. I will miss his smiling face at the care center. He used to help the ladies prepare the snack time treats and always proudly said he did the dishes afterward.

   Our family knew him way back in the days when my mom and dad owned Slama's Superette. He has always been one of our favorites.

   Sincerely,
   Dave and Kris Polzer

Our family found the ‘why’ as well as encouraging information at jw .org. (Search: loss of loved one video) during our recent loss and we are sure you will too. May God bless you with guidance and comfort in the days to come.

   Gosh, it's been quite a few years, I remember doing haying at the farm so we could all go out and play on weekends. Sure made the work more fun when we were all in it together.
   Sending prayers and hugs.
