Condolence From: Joy & George Fulling
Condolence: To the Family of Robert L. Dahlinger: Robert Dahlinger was a gentleman and one of the most erudite and Godly of men I have ever known ~ A strong man of impeccable moral fiber. He loved his family with all his being and continued to wear his gold wedding band in honor of his beloved wife, Dorothy, who predeceased him many, many years ago. He knew, as a young man, that the marriage vows he made before God were not just for the "here and now" nor "till death do us part" but their marriage vows were made "forever and throughout eternity." George and I especially enjoyed getting to know him over the years, and the one thing I will probably miss the most is all those long chats on the way back to his home in Westfield. He was always quick to start a conversation, and we will miss his wisdom and scholarly advice ~ Such an intelligent, learned and truly amazing man! "Fair thee well, sweet prince, parting is such sweet sorrow."

Condolence From: Christine Margo
Condolence: Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
