Janie and family; We are so heartbroken to hear of Kurt's passing. Having spent time with both of you over the past 10 years or so we totally believe he is now with his heavenly father and rejoicing in a life well lived, in that we are so happy for him. Those of his family left behind remember the good times, our prayers are with you all. Loren & Kim Kalina

We are definitely praying for each one of you, Jane,Lydia (Doug) Molitor, Joanna (Adolfo) Murillo, Joe (Jade) Kalina, David (Courtney) Kalina, Stephen (Whitney) Kalina, Paula (Sam) Sauer, Lucas (Kirsten) Kalina, Nicole (Donnie) Wetterling, Rebekah (DeLoss) Rappleye, and Philip Kalina. Charlie, Clara, & Chloe Molitor, Shoney & Skye Murillo, Landon & Lily Kalina, Finley Kalina, Dean Kalina, and Makaiah Kalina. Steve (Alison) Kalina, Lisa (Doug) Hill, Holli (John) Short, and Heidi (Ed) Short.— as you grieve the loss of your husband, father, grandpa, brother and friend. Oft times the day seems long, Our trials hard to bear We’re tempted to complain, to murmur and despair. But Christ will soon appear to catch His bride away, all tears forever over in God’s eternal day. It will be worth it all when we see Jesus, life‘s trials will seem so small, when we see Christ, one glimpse of His dear face, all sorrow will erase, so bravely run the race till we see Christ. So thankful that Kurt is HOME, at rest and peace and healed with his Lord and Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ. Soon all those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior will be all together around he Lord. Press on dear ones. Especially praying for The Comforter to comfort you each one in your particular, unique loss of dear Kurt. Whoever put together the obituary and Kurt’s picture did a beautiful job. Thank you so much for the thoughts and care and tenderness you put into expressing his life. Love and prayers, Tim and Jan Totems.

Rest in eternal peace my friend, although it has been years since we have talked I have never forgotten your kind heart. I hope for your family to have strength and peace during this very difficult time.

Joe & Dave, I’m sorry to learn of the passing of your father. I knew him some from high school and he was a very nice person. I do know that he raised 2 very fine young men that I was fortunate to get to know during their apprenticeship. Take Care, Joe Rodenkirk

Kurt and his family were always blessed me when I was a student for 7 years in Iowa City. Thank you for the example of Christian hospitality, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Very warm memories.

Janie and family, thinking of all of you at this difficult time. Our sincere sympathy. Dick and Terrie Johnson

Rest in peace my friend. Count me among those whose life is better for having known you.

Dearest little sister Janie, Ruth alerted me to Kirts passing on to our heavenly home. What a rich legacy left behind, and a Well Done awaiting. We were always thrilled and amazed to get your yearly letters, and I know the family is now raising their own legacy, and you will be well surrounded by the love of each, but may The Lord Jesus enrich you now with his own presence in your special alone place before His Mercy Seat and the eternal Throne of His presence as you give Him honours for that past little while and look forward to Eternal Glory in the heavenly places. We long to see Him, and rejoice in His felt Presence. May the consolation of friends and family enrich your days and overwhelming peace of your Salvation comfort and strengthen you in this time of surprising loss and struggle. With deep affection we are yours in Christ. Danny and Harriet Weeks
