Thank you from Pastor Tart
I want to thank everyone for their concern on the loss of my great aunt and godmother, Margaret Nauert. She was an incredible lady and I was very close to her. Fortunately I was able to spend some significant time with her the Monday before she passed away. It was one of those beautiful moments when we shared our love for each other and how good God has been to us. She was a great model of faith for me and her love of the Lutheran church was deep and abiding. She lived a wonderful 94 years and taught me much about my roots in the German community of Fredericksburg. (Believe it or not my great grandfather was a blacksmith from Luekenbach, Texas, the town made famous by the song, “Let’s go to Luekenbach, Texas”.) As St. Paul says in the book of Hebrews, “We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses” and my aunt Margaret is most definitely in my great cloud. –Pastor Tart

David -- I am interested that your great aunt taught you about your "German roots in Fredericksburg." Do you know what church she and her family attended? My great-grandfather was the founding pastor of Bethany Lutheran. He is the John Heinzelmann mentioned on this web page:
