Auntie, Brad and Randy: I am sad. Sad for you all, and sad that we all had to grow up. No one asked if that was what I wanted. I long to be in the St Louis Arch, scared to death and have Brad run up and scare me, starting over back then would be my wish for all of us, but no one asked me, and we did all grow up, but God is an awesome God, so I will see Uncle Rolf again, in a while….I love you all.

Rolf meant so very much to us. We will miss him as a friend and as a part of our family more than mere words can express. He was a loving Christian gentleman and a good friend. We will miss him so very very much.Loretta, we are so thankful that we got to be there during some of Rolf’s last days and even some of his last moments. Being there with him and with you was very special to us. We know that Rolf is with the Lord and that we will see him again. That takes away some of the pain.
We love you.

I fell deep regrets that I did not get to know Rolf any better, because I know he had to have a been a great guy because he had a great son in Brad. My thoughts are with you all in this time.
I am honored to have been Rolf’s Hospice nurse. There will always be a special place in my heart for this gentle man. Rolf brought me together with his family and I now have new and dear friends. He will be missed.
