Carol and Family: Pastor Dave and I extend our deepest sympathy to you all. We know it has been a struggle for Ebbie the last few years, but now he is at peace in his Savior's arms. One of my favorite memories is the visit to your farm to see the old Weispfenning blacksmith building that Ebbie had moved from Gackle to your place. We have also appreciated your Christmas letters since we left Emmanuel in 2002. God's blessings now as you lay your loved one to rest. Be assured that the promise of the resurrection is for Ebbie also. Peace be with you. Kathy and Pastor Dave Winterfeldt

To Hauts: I'm sorry, but I noticed I had my e-mail address wrong in my initial entry. It was missing the "t". Thank you, Kathy Winterfeldt
