In Memoriam Louise Olson

Today we remember and honour one of the finest souls ever born, a beautiful diamond with a golden heart and soul strong like steel: Louise Olson.

On February 19th one year ago Heaven gained a faithful follower of Jesus Christ into the eternal kingdom of peace.  The funeral was bitter and sweet.  Bitter for two reasons: a great woman laid cold in her coffin and also the fact that it was February, which means we were cold as well.  Sweet for two reasons: this woman lived a full life and experienced many blessings and also the funeral lunch had a plethora of brownies and date squares.

In Memory of Edgar Stoesz Kehler

Edgar Stoesz Kehler

Today, February 17th, marks 6 years since the passing of our amazing brother, Edgar Kehler.  Seldom has a day passed without thinking about the many memories that were created as we grew up together.

Edgar was a special brother who touched the lives of many people. As brothers, we were very close in a relationship that kept us together for life as best friends. He was full of life, seeing the best of everyone he met.  Those who knew him best admired him for the interest he took in each person. In meeting new people, one of the first things he’d do is the “Mennonite Connection” to see if there was a possibility of being a long lost relative. It seemed important to him.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Grandma, it is now 9 years since Jesus took you home. I remember well the moment your spirit left your earthly body. I will always treasure the memory of holding your hand as Jesus came and lifted your spirit to be joined with Him in eternity. How I treasure that memory!

Grandpa, for you it is now 29 yrs. since you left us so suddenly. I remember you telling me how you prayed for “the generations to come”. I didn’t understand it at the time, but now I know what a rich spiritual heritage you left us and how grateful I am to our Heavenly Father for  allowing me to be your grandchild.

You were both very instrumental in helping shape the person I am today. Thank you for praying for us regularly. Your prayers are still being answered today. We miss you, but know you are with your Lord & Saviour. What a glorious day that will be when we will be re-united!

-Grand daughter Diane Funk (nee Kehler)

Thanks to Christmas

by Kaylee Peters

What if we didn’t have Christmas what if,
We couldn’t spend Christmas with our family,
Or we couldn’t wish our friends a Merry Christmas.
Or we couldn’t make memories on this special day,
Or we couldn’t do the things we do on Christmas,
Thanks to God we don’t have to worry about that,
He gave us Jesus and Jesus’ birthday,
He gave us family time,
He gave us memories,
He gave us Merry Christmas,
He gave us that day, that moment,
That we spend doing the stuff we love with people we love,
So Christmas isn’t about presents,
Or toys or decoration or who gets what,
It’s about Jesus,
And what he has given us,
So Thank-You

TROY, NY — As he sat at his locker stall Tuesday at RPI’s Houston Field House, Myles Stoesz sported a badge of his role for the Albany Devils. The area around Stoesz’s left eye was discolored, and just above the cheekbone he sported a gash.

“This was from the (helmet) visor,” he said, pointing to the gash received in a fight with Toronto’s Kyle Neuber, “and this (left eye) is the one punch that hit me.”
