I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are not alone for the Bible tells us that “God is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves “(Psalms 34:18). Take heart in the Scriptures for comfort. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

I heard from Kenny this morning about the passing of Johnny. I am so very sorry. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many good memories of my visits back in Wisconsin, and visiting the Strieffs'was always the highlight of our trips.
Again, Bob and I send our condolences to all.

I am so very sorry to hear of John's death. What a terrible loss this must be for you, Janet. I remember John as being such a happy, robust man. He was such an important part of Luther Memorial. What a loss for so many people. My heart goes out to you.

Dear Mrs. Streiff Family:
It was with a great sense of loss when I read of Dr. Streiff's death. I was one of his first patients in the early 70's in his office off of Odana Road. OH, what a wonderful/gentle man he was getting me through 3 root canals I needed because of an skiing accident.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.
With my deepest sympathy,
Thomas Schee
