Ron. On behalf of the Wheeling College Class of 1964 please accept our sincere condolences on the recent loss our classmate and your beloved partner of 46 years. I was very surprised to hear the sad news. It seems like only yesterday we shared e-mails about your trip to Colorado Springs for the annual Navy-Air Force football game in 2010. I know MG was a strong supporter of the Navy, the Midshipmen and I am sure a great Navy wife. She will be missed but will be remembered by the class at our 50th reunion in 2014. I know that words sometimes cannot heal the sorrow at times like this but I have always taken comfort in the following words from a priest in my hometown at the funerals of my parents:
The Love of God Surrounds us,
The Light of God Shines in us,
The Spirit of God Hovers Over us,
The Presence of God Unfolds as us,
And wherever we are, God is.
Go in gentleness. Go in peace Mary Grace.
Jim (J.J.) Lauer Class Agent.
