Thoughts
The Wilhelm family's warm friendship with the Koontz family, which started when both families were members of Glen Lutheran Church in the early 1960s, continued despite geographic moves mostly because of our parents having been great correspondents (in the days way before email and cellular and internet means of communication). In going through boxes of that correspondence when my dad died, I found many letters from Ruth to my family. Thank you, Mrs. Wilhelm, for helping keep the families' friendship intact across the miles through your warm and caring letters to my parents.

It WAS you that night, wasn't it? Rest in peace, Mom.
I hope there is strawberry ice cream in heaven.
Love, Susan

"Show me, O Lord, my life's end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting is my life.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Each man's life is but a breath.
"But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you..."
