Dear Steve (Laura,) Linda, Karen, Janet, Nancy, and Family, As the Director of Alumni Relations Emeritus, I offer you the sympathy and prayers of the Saint Viator/Sacred Heart of Mary community, as well as my own. I am feel bad that I was unable to offer these wishes to you in person, but I was out of town at the time of your dad’s death. Our hearts go out to you as you move through your journey of grief. We pray for you as you share the stories, laugh and cry, and find ways to celebrate the life of your dad and the love you shared. As I read the obituary for this man who was a “beloved husband… loving dad…devoted papa…adored great grandpa…cherished brother…and loving uncle, cousin, and friend,” I was reminded of a reading from the Book of Sirach. “Let us praise an illustrious man, faithful to his family and friends, strong in his love. At peace in his heart and his world, he has left us his good name, and we recount his life of praiseworthy deeds. A generous man his good works will never be forgotten. Among his family and friends remains a rich inheritance born of him…. His name lives on from generation to generation. We gather to sing his praises. We proclaim his wisdom and love of life all our days.” May you be comforted by the memories of your dad and the love you shared! May the knowledge your dad lives on in your goodness give you peace and hope! Take care and God bless you with the gifts you most need! Judy Judith Wampach Amberg - Saint Viator High School Director of Alumni Relations Emeritus
