I am very sad to hear of Vincent’s passing. Blessings to Julie and family. My fondest memories are of fasting for many years at the Steinhauer place with Vincent helping, and then leading the fasts. You are missed by many, Vincent. Blessings to you on your journey now.

From: Wendy & Horst Kunow
Relation: Aunt to Julie Steinhauer, Wife of Vincent

Julie, We are so sad for you and your family.

I’ve read a poem that warms my heart. I hope it can do the same for you.

THE BEYOND
It seemeth such a little way to me
Across to that strange country, The Beyond
And yet, not strange, for it has grown to be
The home of those of whom I am so fond.
And so for me there is no death;
It is but crossing, with abated breath
A little strip of sea..
To find one’s loved ones waiting on the shore
More beautiful, more precious than before.

From: Ann Marie Lyseng
