Dear Wolfer Family,
I'm truly sorry I wasn't able to be with you in person but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. "Wolfer" was a great person and always made me laugh. I still use the Wolfer cookie recipe but, I never could get them to taste like hers.
Love to all, Janice Turner Rothan

Dear Mr. Wolfer,
We were so saddened to hear of Rita's passing. It was just a short time ago that we saw her getting her "graduation day" photo at the rehab garden. We know she worked hard in rehab to reach that goal. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.
As the nights grow longer and the light grows scarcer, the reminder comes clearly to us: The Lord is my light and my salvation! The "Lord as Light" is one of the most vivid metaphors utilized in Advent and Christmas scripture and liturgy to describe the coming of the Lord and the difference that is meant to be in our lives..
Perhaps a power outage has recently reminded you of your dependence on your household lights. That image sparks a comparison: how dark would life be without the light of Christ?
His light illumines our life with His presence when we're lonely, His joy when we're gloomy, His hope when we're despairing, His forgiveness when we're erring, His comfort when we're ailing, and His love when we're failing!
Prayers are with you and your family...she knew HIM.
