Dear Co-laborer, our dearly Beloved Dean Hochstetler,

Thank you, Dean, for all you have taught so many of us about faithful service and understanding of the spiritual battles of life. Your anticipated departure for Glory will be a time of great rejoicing for you but great sorrow for many of us who have served with you and profited from your great heart and shared knowledge. Thank you for your friendship with Anita and me through these many years. We love you and look forward to sharing the joys of eternity with you.

In love,

Mark and Anita Bubeck
