To Uncle Van and our cousins,

MA (Mary Alice) is now with her heavenly father whom she worshiped. She was a truly Southern, Christian lady who represented the best of humanity.

In life it is never the material things that are important, just the memories. The Knoechel family was so fortunate throughout our lives to be able to visit Charleston and stay with Uncle Van and Aunt Mary and our cousins Ricky, Dennis, Karen and Beth. Even though we grew up, 600 miles away in Cincinnati, we knew we were always welcome in the Fleming home and we have such wonderful memories of our times together.

We will miss Mary Alice greatly, but I know that she is now with her family who has gone before and her savior Jesus Christ.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Hopefully reflecting on all the good times you've shared together will help ease the pain that you feel. May "the God of all comfort" strengthen you at this time of sadness, and may His promise for the future bring you peace. Hosea 13:14.
