Dear Emily and family,
May God bless you with strength and peace. We hope you can find comfort in remembering the happy times you spent with your Dad.
With our sincere sympathy,
The Fritz Family

My heart breaks over the loss of Cornel.  He has always been special to me.  I am glad in the last couple of years we were able to reconnect and spend some time together.  An honor to have as a Cousin, he was an amazing man, inspirational, dedicated and a true champion.  I know that he touched so many lives and will continue to do so.  RIP my friend, you'll always be with us.

You will be missed so very much. You always had a strong positive outlook on everything, nothing really got you down. We love and miss you.

Cornelius was truly the love of Trisha's life, every time I saw them together I could see in her eyes how special this man was.  My heart feels sorrow for their loss and blessed for the special time they shared. Mere words can not express my sorrow for you and your family.
With Love

Cornelius was a beacon of love and hope. May his light shine brightly in your hearts forever.

Trish and Family,

I'm sure this week will be a blur to all of you. The overwhelming outreach of friends and family sharing their stories and out pouring the love and feelings they shared with Cornelius.  He touched the lives of so many people.We will all be at the service, many not knowing each other yet we are all being connected by such a loving, caring soul.
 
Cornelius, never gave up and he never stopped sharing his message to all of those he touched. He left us all a gift of knowledge, compassion and excitement for life.  I never knew before I met Cornelius what Brags, Agave and Gluten Free were or the difference between Acid and Alkaline foods. I have already  shared  and activated what he taught me, his influence will live forever whether he was with us for a Season, A Reason or a Lifetime.

Trish, I can't imagine all that you have gone through and our hearts are all pouring out for your loss. Thank you for sharing your husband with all of us, he will be truly missed. When the fog goes away remember all the Ambassadors are here to help in any way we can.

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Dear Trish and family, 

I am so very sorry for your loss of a wonderful man, Cornelius. He gave so much to so many and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Trish & Family,
Cornelius was an inspiration to all that met him.  He battled his illnes with character and strength.  He will be deeply missed.  God Bless you.

Trish,
I am so truly sorry to hear about the loss of Cornelius,  I know how very much you loved one another.  My thoughts and all of my love are with you right now.  Saying prayers and hoping comfort will come to you soon.

I am so sorry to hear of Cornel's passing. He was such a positive influence to me! Always smiling and seeing the good in the world and embracing whatever life threw his way with optimism and hope.  He will surely be missed by many.

I am so sorry to hear about Cornel passing. He was a great example to us all in how to deal with life and the problems we encounter in it. Cornel was always upbeat and positive, about everything. He was always 'I can do this'. He met each setback that he encountered with renewed vigor and that tomorrow would be better. He was never negative about anything, when we were behind in soccer, in starting his life over, in dealing with his cancer. He showed us the attitude to live by.
Thanks Cornel.

So sorry to Trish and the family for your loss, Cornelius will truly be missed. He may be gone, but never forgotten with his positive outlook and attitude in life. I will always cherish the Red Wings game we went to together while I was being treated for breast cancer, it meant the world to me. May we always remember him.

Cornel was a wonderful man and lived his life to the fullest.  He truly did not let his illness slow him down and he never seemed discouraged by it; his optimism and faith in God shone through everything he did.  I have a lot of admiration for Cornel; he was one of the best men I ever knew. He will be VERY missed.

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of the love of your life Cornelius.  Words cannot express.  My prayers are with you and your family.

While I did not know Cornelius, Trish is a beloved co-worker and my heart is so sad for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
