So. Sorry to hear of the passing of Dorothy    We do not understand but God has a plan.  I  am sure she will be missed by her family and friends. But their faith in God will make the burden of loss easier to bear. She is with her parents now.  Have faith in that!

My condolences to you, Stephanie and Scott, as well as the rest of your family.  It is always difficult to "lose
" one's mother.

So sorry for the loss of Dorothy.  I have so many fond memories of being at the Kratzer home studying or playing as a child or attending bible studies.  She will missed.  What am incredible and strong example of living for Jesus.

Dear Kratzer Family...Our hearts and prayers are with you and yours. This  loving family was our next door neighbors when we purchased our first home as a young couple.  They were a blessing for two young kids moving to Nebraska from Indiana after college with no family in the state.  Always positive, always helpful and fun.  Though time has separated us, I will always admire your family. God comfort Ron, and the children. We send our love from Arizona,  Mike, Carol, Jessica, Allison and Joshua Essenburg

Dear Ron and Family,

We grieve with you and our hearts are heavy.  Dorothy has fought the good fight, she has overcome, and she instructed us all by her example on how to lay down our lives for our children.  We are so grateful for her godly example, and we rejoice to see the fruits of her labor shining brightly through her children.  May the Lord give us all a sense of how close eternity is, and the patience to endure until we see Him face to face!  With much love, the Buells.

Dear Kratzer Family, 
May The Lord give you all peace during this difficult time and allow you to remember all the wonderful things about your Wife, Mother , Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend ;  Dorothy Kratzer and may your hearts fill with joy in such remembrance of the wonderful,  loving and faithful soul she was.

Dear Ron & family:
We are praying for you.  May God give you His peace and comfort in this time of mourning the loss of Dorothy, but realizing the truth that she is now with her Lord and Savior where there is no more pain or suffering, only total joy.

To those who loved her and will mourn her loss most deeply:  Dorothy was a truly beautiful person!  Her love for Jesus radiated from her 24/7 to everyone she met.  In sharing that love with her family, she has left a legacy that will change the world.  God bless you all!  We are so glad to have been blessed by knowing all of you!  The Merrill family

Dear Ron and Family, We are praying for the comfort of the Lord to help you stand in this difficult time. We are grateful to have known Dorthy and enjoyed her beautiful smile and joyful heart. Her love for the Lord was very evident. Together we look for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of our Savior when at last we shall gather around Him with those we love. Prayerfully, Ken and Marti Miller

Steph and Family, I am very sad to hear of your loss. Take comfort in that your mother is no longer suffering and she is smiling down on you all.

Dear Kratzer Family, Our words cannot fully express our love and compassion. We thank God for your friendship. Dorothy has such a tremendous testimony. She is a godly woman who faced difficulty with a smile on her face and a firm belief in her heart that God is her strength and salvation. She taught us so much by her walk with the LORD. This is a difficult time and also a precious time. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" (Psalm 116:15) because we know that He has prepared a place for us. May the LORD continue to encourage and strengthen each one of you, both now and everyday in the future. We are so thankful for Dorothy! She is loved and cherished by so many dear relatives and friends. 
Love in Christ, 
The Collins Family

God bless you Stephanie and  family.   I know that there are no words to ease the pain, only the promise that you have that you will see your Mom again as you walk the streets of gold.  All of my love and prayers go out to each and every one of you as you go through the next week, the next months, and the next years.  May the memories of your Mom and your faith sustain you..

Dear Ron and Family:

Darlene and I send our love and sympathy to you at this time.  We know you are at peace knowing Dorothy is "with Christ."  But we deeply feel the physical separation.

A little girl whose younger brother had died was told that he was with the Lord Jesus and would have no more pain.  She looked up at the person who spoke to her and with tears in her eyes said "I know that but I still miss him."  You may be feeling the same way.

We are praying for you.

The Kratzer Family is in my deepest prayers and my heart goes out to all of you at this difficult time. 

Love Always,
Ebony
(Stephanie's Friend)
