"Dear Family,

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die." John 11: 25-26

We are so sorry for the loss of Bill. He was a wonderful friend to many people and a great supporter of quality, Christian education at Trinity Lutheran School. We will all miss his Christian example and warm sense of humor.

May the promises of Jesus Christ comfort you and give you peace as we continue to live for Him and through Him.

Jim Knoepfel
Principal
Trinity Lutheran School"
