So sorry to hear of Ardelle's passing. We often think of the family with fond memories.

I am so sorry for the Stemmer Family and your loss; I lost my Mom last year. I have found death to leave me with a feeling of helplessness. May I leave you this word of encouragement that has helped me? The Bible says at 1 Corinthians 15: 26 that God hates death, and shows it to be an enemy. He has "a yearning" to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He longs to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. -Job 14:14, 15. My sincere condolences.

My heart has been so heavy since I heard of Ardelle's passing... Her and the entire family have been in my prayers... She was such a sweet and giving person as I remember her in school... Memories are all we have, but the love will always be in your hearts... Peaceful prayers to all of you...

Ardelle and I went to high school together. She was such a sweetheart - beautiful, happy, kindhearted to everyone. I was very shy back then, and for Ardelle to be a friend to me helped me make it through each day at school. I am so sorry for your loss, and I'm praying for your family as you go through this time. Thank you for having such a wonderful daughter ~ Elana Mason Thomas

Ardelle,

I can't believe it.....Memories come flooding back......Rest in peace hunny! I will see you when my time comes. Love you! Your Sister in Christ, Tina

To Your Children and Family,

I will keep you all in my prayers,

Lovingly,

Tina

I am brokenhearted for you all. Ardelle was such a good friend to me in high school and I always thought I wanted to be like her - she was that special kind of person that everyone liked and people were drawn to her like a magnet. I watched the memorial video and saw that same smile and beautiful face that I knew. No one can understand the depth of your mourning but what a comforting thought it has to be to know that she was so loved by her family and her friends. What a gift Ardelle has been to everyone who had the privilege to know her at any time. My prayer will be that you feel the arms of the Lord around your family.

Just saw this and was shocked and saddened to find out of Ardelle's passing. My thoughts and prayer are with her family and friends

I would like to offer you and your family our deepest and most sincere condolences and may the soul of Ardelle rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family

So sorry for your loss. May God grant all of you the strength to get through this difficult time.

Losing my dear sweet, loving friend has taken a large part of me with her. I have never had a friend that I ever had such a love for and her for me as well. The depth of your pain can only be imagined. My life has been blessed not only from having Ardelle in it, but for all the years I was a part of the Geis family. I love you all...

Words will never express my deepest sympathy for your loss. I have lost a sister myself but even that loss does not mean I understand what you all are going through. May God Bless you all and guide you in understanding and acceptance in knowing you will all be re-united one day.

Peggy, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please be assured of my continued prayers for you and your family.

I am so very sorry about your loss. I loved Ardelle. She was kind-hearted and loving and had a wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. May you have some peace in love and sympathy sent your way.

So sorry to hear of your loss! May the comfort of God help you through this difficult time! Praying for you!

Dear Geis Family;

We just heard news of your terrible loss. Know that our hearts are breaking with yours, and that we pray that God will strengthen your spirit always.

Bob, Gigi, Maria, Robby and Ross Thomas

My dad also expressed his condolences to Bob, Peg and all Ardelle's siblings

Jennifer and I are so sorry for your loss. I pray that Ardelle is at peace. I know that she had been in deep pain for many long years as this world took a heavy toll from her as she searched for understanding and grace. I will always remember her smile and laugh. We are praying for all of you. Grace and Peace, Jim Williams.

To All of You,

Words cannot express how sorry I am about Ardelle's death. My memories are ones of hearing her laugh and how much fun she was. One funny memory was when we had arrived to visit after a long drive from GA. We had some cheese that was in a cooler. The ice had melted the cheese had softened and was not very appetizing to look at. Ardelle picked it up and said, "you need to put this thing in the fridge and get it right." For some reason, and we all know that it was because it was the WAY Ardelle said things, that was the funniest thing ever and that was always a story that we told and laughed.

I will always remember her happiness and hard work at Mountainview - and laughter, even in the tough situations.

I remember she always seemed to enter the house at holidays with flair, maybe (ok, usually) a bit late. Again, laughing all the way in.

May your best memories eventually carry you beyond this horrible time.

Again, I am sorry for your grief and your loss.

Pete

Words cannot express our deepest sympathies for your family and this tragic loss. We have many wonderful childhood memories of all of you and are sending Angels of comfort to you all.

Ardelle's smile and sweet spirit, her thoughtful and generous nature are how I remember her and her beauty was inside and out.

May God bring you through this grief until you meet again.

To Bob, Peggy, Letitia,Mike, Maureen, John, Patrick and Christopher. I am heart-sick and deeply pained to learn of Ardelle's death. I last saw Ardelle in 1997, when I invited her and her children to my home in Indy, for a visit. I always admired and loved her. Her laugh and her wonderful smile comes to mind when I think of Ardelle. She was one of the kindest people, with one of the purest spirits, I ever knew! I never heard Ardelle say an unkind word about anyone and during a conversation with her, she would be so attentive and was truly interested in what you had to say. I'm praying for you all tonight. I'm so sorry for your loss and the loss of all who knew and loved your daughter and sister. May God comfort you and bring you through your pain and sorrow ~ Christyna (Kunkel) Barker
