May God give each Christian the faith and trust and belief that our times are in His hands and that our lives are not ended on earth, but continued endlessly in Heaven,
The family sincerely thanks countless Christian friends for their continual prayers and acts of love and caring, including the employees and volunteers of the Holy Family Memorial Hospice. They thank God for His benevolent kindness to Kurt Troge on earth, allowing this Christian man to grow in faith and to show God's grace in his life. Blessed are those who die in the Lord.
