Extending prayerful condolences to Carl's family, to Frank, Theresa and all the whole Kehres family...our All Saints Parish family will be holding you all in prayer. May Cotz and all those who have died in faith through the mercy of God rest in peace.

My prayerful condolences to all the members of the Kehres family, especially to Carl's immediate members. No matter how large the family may be, each time one goes on to be a member of God's family in a different way, there is still a gaping hole which is obvious and painful. My prayers for all of you is that your pain be minimized.
