Tanque Verde Lutheran Church Tucson, Ariz.


Finding my mother’s obit was such a relief. It was one less thing we had to do at this sad time. I wrote my obituary to make it easier for those who will have to plan my funeral. Nancy Bagne


Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Clearbrook, Minn.


We need to have this information written out for our families since we live more mobile lives, and our families are not always aware of the organizations we are involved in. Linda Weko


Zion Lutheran Church Williamsburg, Va.
