Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

The Dragonfly Story Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in a while, one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more. "Look!" said one of the water bugs to another on August 3, 2023, one of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you think he is going?" Up, up, up LEON slowly went....Even as they watched, LEON, the water bug disappeared from sight. LEON's friends waited and waited but LEON didn't return... "That's funny!" said one water bug to another. "Wasn't he happy here?" asked a second... "Where do you suppose he went?" wondered a third. No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled. Finally one of the water bugs, VICTOR, Jr, a leader in the colony, gathered his friends, Hazel, Christina, Brian, Carrie, Bonnie, Steve, Zack, Mary and the others together. "I have an idea. The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why." "We promise", they said solemnly. On March 10, 2024, not long after, the very water bug, VICTOR, Jr., who had suggested the plan, found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up, he went. Before he knew what was happening, "LITTLE VICTOR" had broken through the surface of the water and fallen onto the broad, green lily pad above. When LITTLE VICTOR awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come to his old body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings...The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from the new body. VICTOR, Jr. moved his wings again and suddenly found himself up above the water... VICTOR, JR., had become a dragonfly!! Swooping and dipping in great curves, VICTOR flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by the new dragonfly lighted happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that VICTOR chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs! There they were scurrying around, just as he had been doing on March 10, 2024, when he started climbing the lily stalk. VICTOR, the dragonfly, then remembered the promise: "the next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk will come back and tell where he or she went and why." Without thinking, VICTOR, the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water... "I can't return!" Victor said in dismay. "At least, I tried. But I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs...not even Hazel, Christina, Brian, or Carrie... would know me in my new body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too. Then they'll understand what has happened to me, and where I went." And VICTOR, the dragonfly, winged off happily into his wonderful pain-free new world of sun and air....... Thank you God, for the story of the water bugs and the dragonflies to help us understand that VICTOR could not keep his promise and has moved on to a better, happier, pain free life... LEON LUNCINSKI gained his dragonfly wings on August 3, 2023 – He will show his cousin Victor how important it is to make dragonfly visits to those water bugs still waiting their turn to climb that lily pad stock and join them in their new wonderful world with Jesus!

What can I say cousin (brother) co-worker friend . From the time I was a little kid we had a special bond. Living with you when my mom was in a car accident, nailing the Christmas tree to the floor when you were remodeling the house. You were always a bright spot in my life. Hard to get the words out. We will always love you. Doug and Alyssa Kreutzer
