We are so sorry to learn of the death of David.
May the memories of David get you through this very hard time.
Just remember God didnot take David from you He called him home.
As Harold said when our son passed away at21 Edward went from his earthly Father to his heavenly Father,
that is a comforting thought,

Please accept our deepest condolences. My family lives in Wheaton,MN. We have been trying to learn about our extended family for years. With the death of my great-great aunt, Gladys (Wohlenhaus)Cordes, information about our family lineage died also.
There are not many Wohlenhauses in this world. Please feel a little contentment in your hearts knowing that, even though we have never met, we are grieving with you.
