Our very deepest sympathy goes out to the Kremer and Huls Families.
What a sad time for the Kremer family to have lost two brothers in such a short time.

I want to offer my condolences to the Kremers family and friends for your loss of Bernard. Death is a painful thing. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died(John 11:35). Our Heavenly Father knows your pain and calls death an enemy that he will remove forever__ 1 Corinthians 15:26 “the last enemy, death, will be brought to nothing.” He loves his human family and has promised to awaken those asleep in death__ Hosea 13:14 “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them.” It will be a joyful time to see our love ones again. I hope these words give all of you comfort.
