The light was blinking on our phone indicating that we had a voice message.  As the message started to play it sounded like Joseph talking to us.  But we quickly were made aware that the voice we were hearing was actually Peter.  We had to play the message again to make sure we heard the message correctly.
We are so sorry to hear about Joseph’s passing!  We are also honored that Peter called us to let us know.  The story of Joseph coming to the United States and have our Aunt Alice help him adjust to life in Fort Wayne, Indiana has always been very, very special.  Years later Alice bringing Joseph and his family to our house in Hamilton, Indiana got us involved in a very personal way.  
We also will never forget our visit with your family when we were in the Houston area several years ago.  We got to see the new yogurt business and we also still talk about the fancy steak restaurant we went to where we picked the piece of steak we wanted from the cooler. 
We will miss the phone calls from Joseph.  He always asked how we are doing and how our kids and now grandkids are doing.  He would then talk about how his business was doing.  (We just talked to him recently about the slow progress being made from the flood damage.)  He would always end with what has been happening with his family.  He was obviously very proud of each of you!
Once again we want to thank you Peter for giving us a call.  We just want all of you to know we are sharing in your grief and lifting you up with prayer.  We are truly thankful for the wonderful memories we have of Joseph and you his family.
With much love and prayers,
Carlton and Julia Reinhard
Hamilton, Indiana


Peter, We're seemingly never ready for God's plans.  I choose to believe God calls us to carry out those plans, here and 'on the other side'.  I grieve and suffer the homesickness for my 'passed' family and friends, but smile in the thoughts of the love shared and the life they've been given to impact mine and others.  May you keep your father's love in your heart and call on it for strength and solace.  Peace to you my friend.  Rick H
