To the Boenemans,
Rob and I are very sorry for your loss. You and all the Boeneman family continue to be in our prayers. We first met your Dad at CMLC and always connected Gary, and you Bridget with the 2nd service Usher Team. He always greeted us with a smile, a hug for me, a firm handshake for Rob and maybe a fish story or two.
We will miss his welcoming presence at Christ Memorial but take comfort in knowing that when we see him again he will have some terrific fish stories to share.
Love,
Robert and Kathy Brown

To Bridget, Beth, Margaret Ann, Jeannine and your families~
Losing a father or a brother is difficult at any time; Christmas makes it harder. I hope you will take comfort in the simple things that bring you peace, remembering that you have many friends and family members who care deeply about you. My sincere condolences.
