The family of Frank Straka extends its sincere condolances to the entire Koehler family. We are sorrowed by your loss and the loss of our aunt/great aunt, but know she is with the lord enjoying eternal happiness. We always enjoyed Agnes’ kindness and her contagious laugh. May the lord’s peace be with you all.

To all the Koehler and Compton Family,
My deepest sympathy to you for your loss but praise God 95 and now with our Lord. Who could ask for more. Carol I miss you so much. We had so many great times. Your mom was a part of those and when John and Jean and your Mom was there at the same time it was great. I miss them too, but know they are in a better place now.
One of these days, Kim, You and Me, Carol will have to meet somewhere and get our hair done. I just sent Kim the nativity that John and Jean had boughten for us when they went to Israel. I paid them $20.00 and I am sure it was much more than that. I thought it was time Kim had remembrances of them and memories of her younger days. Hope it sparks much Joy for her as it has for me as I set it up and remember. I know you have great memories of your mom too that will be a bless to share with Paul and the other kids at the right time. Peace and Joy be with you all at this most blessed time of year. A time Agnes, John, Jean, and Paul all shared with great joy for the coming of our Lord. Love to all Donna
