I had not seen Mrs. Stangl for quite a few years but got to know her in some small way by the writings she left behind of the Spiritual journey she was on. Such a sharp mind with a keen focus on our Heavenly Father, whom she now has the incredible privilege of being in the presence of. Praying for God’s peace and comfort for Mr. Stangl and the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
