Our heartfelt sympathy to Camille and Family, Melanie and Family, Amanda and Yvonne and Family with the loss of your grandfather and a great grandfather as well as all the Thiele family. At this time of sadness, may you find comfort in your many fond memories.
So sad to hear about the death of Uncle Johnny. He was a very fine man. My dad, Frank, was John’s brother and we lived close to him on the farm near Spring Valley. I will always think of him as a true gentleman. Now he will be with Aunt Victoria in eternity. Rosemarie Yeo
My condolences to you all -Randy and Debbie, Joan and Gordy, Jeanette and Raymond and Families- uncle Johnny was a great and fun uncle! He was always ready with a smile and a joke -and will be greatly missed!
I am very sorry I will be unable to attend his funeral – I have dental surgery that day (& not till March if I miss this one ). I will go to a weekday mass & offer it specifically for him in my intentions.
I am so sorry to hear about Johnny. Great memories, especially of Family Reunions. My sympathies to all the family. Take care.
Our Prayers and Thoughts are with all of You and Your Families
