So sorry for your loss Arnie
Dear Rose, Joyce, Arnie, Richard, and Curt:
We are with you in your thoughts and prayers as we, too, remember Connie. It is the most difficult thing to lose a spouse and father. We remember Rose and Connie playing cards at our house in Bismarck many years ago and the fun we had. We will never forget the special care they both gave to our son. Know that we are there for you if you need anything.
Love, Loree & Dale
Joyce and family, so sorry for your loss. I remember your dad being a very humble and kind man. May God wrap His loving arms around you and your family at this difficult time. May his memories give you peace and love.
The Schmidt family is so sorry for your loss. I just loved Connie’s smile. He always had a twinkle in his eye and he was another bright light like all the Lauinger siblings. I loved running into him and Rose around town (at Cashwise or while they were walking in their South Fargo neighborhood and of course at family gatherings.) I should be able to make it to the funeral. I will be praying for you all as you celebrate his life.
Sam Schmidt
Dear Rose, so sorry to see you lost Conrad. You were good friends at the lake to both Ed and I. He’ll be missed. He was always so smiley and friendly when we would see you somewhere. Ed has been gone for four yeas now. I want you to know that with time, the grief does get better.God bless you and your family in this difficult time.
Our thoughts are with your family.
