I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. Death is something that humans were never meant to experience, the pain that we experience when we lose a loved one is something that is simply unnatural. Psalms 37:29 says 29 “The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.” God’s original purpose for humankind was to live forever in a paradise earth with no sickness or death. An “abundance of peace” as psalms 37:10 brings out. Though the world we love in is horrible and we experience pain on a daily basis there is some good news, the bible promises something truly amazing at revelation 21:4 it says “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” So death, sickness, pain and every kind of sorrow will be wiped out but what about those who have already died? John 5:28,29 says of those ones “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” So these ones will be resurrected to an earth filled with peace.

My sincere condolences to the family of Joseph Frank Vennewitz – I am sorry to hear of your loss. It was never the Creator’s purpose for mankind to suffer (Romans 5:12). In the Bible we are promised a time when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). I hope you are comforted by the “God of all comfort” who promises to comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). I hope you find peace in many Bible promises (John 17:3).
Lois and Dan,
My sympathy and condolences to you on the passing of Joe.
On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Joe’s military service to our nation.
Lois and Dan:
I am so sorry your your loss. I have many, many fine memories of skiing days with Joe at Trollhaugen. Oh, how he could ski. His sense of humor was priceless; his smile was contagious. A good man will truly be missed by us but never forgotten. I pray God has snow in heaven and that he will have a season pass and that it will be free. May he rest in peace.
To the family of Joseph Vennewitz, I am sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34;18) With sympathy,
Aunt Lois and Danny, my thoughts are with you. Uncle Joe was a great guy.
