They have fed and clothed my family. They have been dirt y, scraped, and raw swollen and bent. They were uneasy and clumsy holdi ng my newborn children. They wrote letters home while at war and trembl ed when I buried my parents and my wife. They have taught the skil ls of my trade and the joy of baiting a hook. These hands are the ma rk of where I’ve been and the ruggedness of my life. With these hands I re ach out as He leads me home. He will lift me to His side and there I wi ll use these hands to touch the face of Christ.” Greenwood Fargo Funeral Home500 Hendricks AvenueKaukauna
