A pillar of the church and the community was Joe Siebenmorgen. I never visited with Joe where he didn't have a good word and a gracious smile. He can say with St. Paul: I have run the race; I have kept the faith!! To you, Margaret and all the children I offer my sincere condolences and assurance of prayers for Joe and you, his family.
May he rest in peace!!
May family memories be a source of comfort. Remember our days in school which only seem a few years ago.
