Visitation & Funeral for Ronald & Mary Staben

Nobody is immune from pain and suffering in their lives. The Comfort Dogs did not have to look beyond one of their own LCC team members as they surrounded Julie Droste and her family after she lost both parents within days of each other. Her parents Ronald and Mary Staben of Janesville, Wisconsin, entered their eternal home together after 66 years of marriage. They were committed to one another, their family, their church, their friends, and their business. Pastor Daniel Decker from St. Paul Lutheran Church in Janesville and, Mary Comfort Dog and her team, walked alongside Julie and her family during some of the families’ most difficult times.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Ruthie, Emma, Hannah (LCC Staff), Mary (St. Paul’s – Janesville, Wisconsin), Tobias (Lord of Glory – Grayslake, Illinois), Rhoda (Prince of Peace – Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin), and Bekah and Kye (Immanuel – Belvidere, Illinois) visited with family and friends at the visitation and funeral.

Lutheran Church Charities and its K-9 affiliates continue to hold Julie and her family up in prayer.

“My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” John 14:2-4
