So sorry for your loss.

Dad, you taught us all about Jesus through your selfless, gentle, uncomplicated, & beautiful example of humanity. You were always the hero I could look up to, now you're among the saints to whom I can pray to. I feel such an overwhelming joy knowing that you are out of pain and in Heaven, yet I'm so undeniably lost here without you, but I know that you are in the arms of Christ where you belong. Thank you for embodying the true definition of the word "Dad". Thank you for raising me, teaching me, protecting me, listening to me, putting up with me, forgiving me, praying for me, & for loving me. Truly Dad, you are the most incredible man that I have ever known. Rest now in the peace that only God can give. You deserve it! I'll always love and miss you until the day we meet again... "Well done my good and faithful servant"

Dear Maureen and family, My condolences to you. May he now rest in peace. To the family , may God continue to Bless and keep you through this time. Carol Heyward R.N. Temple University Hospital

I feel honored and blessed to have known Mr. Traxler. As a young adult, I knew I was in the presence of a very special man. He offered respect to all and, therefore, gained respect from all. May your warm memories comfort you during this difficult time. Love, Cathy

John- My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I remember your dad so vividly. Such a sweet and gentle man. May he finally be at peace. God Bless you all. With Love, Prayers and Deepest Sympathy, Chrissy

There is a tradition among Jews that at the moment of death one says: "Adonai dayan emet" which roughly translated \= "God is true judge" To my Dad who taught me to love openly and judge none... You've taught me many life lessons, too many to list here. Your steadfast devotion to God, gentle spirit of peace and overwhelming love for mankind are the lessons that shape my life and career as I practice the "true art" of nursing. Thank you for these gifts. Your loving daughter, Maureen

My prayers will be with you. Sometimes the pain don't get better,but with GOD,you can get better with how you deal with it.

You are in my thoughts and prayers... read Psalm 23... Patricia

Sorry for your loss; prayers are with you

I'm so sorry for your loss.My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Daddy thankyou for all that you have taught me to become. Oh how hard to watch your suffering this past 5 weeks, but the joy I was able to have in being able to care for you during your journey home is what I will take with me, for you took the best care of us all. I love you Daddy. I bet you can see the ocean once again!

Dear Grandpop, Madishka udagup mallona idaguy. Love, Janine

Maureen and Family, My prayers and condolences are with you in this time of sorrow. Your father is in a better place, with no pain. Love, Sarah

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

dear grampop, You used to be blind , but now you see and you fell 20 years younger! Although we all miss you. Goodbye until everyone else dies... love, David

Dear Daddy, Hi, its me, your baby girl. I'm really gonna miss you. Especially our father, daughter conversations. Whenever I had a question you always had an answer. I'll also miss having Christmas with you and mommy. It just won't be the same opening my presents on Christmas morning without you there see my reactions. But I know you're in a better place now and I know you're not alone. Say "hi" to everyone up there for me. I hope when you read this it kindles your heart and puts a smile on your face. I think and pray for you everyday and I'll love you forever. Your Baby Girl, Amanda Joy

Dear Family of Hal, My prayers, love, & sympathy go with you all at this time of tremendous loss. Yet with faith in our hearts we do not mourn his passing as much as our life without him. With all of you I will cherish many fond memories of him and will never forget his gentle & kind presence among us. I am a better priest having known him so. May God look after you all... May we meet often in prayer. In The Hope Of Easter, Fr. Ron

dear grandpop i really miss u. so when im heaven i'll give u that big hug that u gave me when u were in the hospice on that day when "most" of the family came.and i'll never forget how we would speak "grandpanese" and how that word "Mashcadonna" appeared on the show Jeopardy and it was really a real word.So see you up in heaven. love your youngest granddaughter, Isabella

My condolences, thoughts, and especially my prayers goes out to the Traxler family. My you find comfort knowing Mr. Traxler is with Christ.

Aunt Marge & Cousins, Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy. I feel the love and will cherish the memories we have made. I am sorry for your loss and love you all.

Grandpa, I will always love you. It's hard to believe that you're really gone. It seems like we were sitting on the couch yesterday chatting in "Grandpanese" together, while Fox was on the tv. I know you're in a better place, but it's hard for us to say good bye. I love you Grandpa with all my heart, please pray for us on Earth to make it through this tough time.

Dearest Hal, You brought love and laughter to everyone's life and I know my life was so much better for knowing you. I have never met anyone that loved and cherished the family as you did. Margie and you were the couple everyone thinks they will be when they take the marriage vows. God holds you in the palm of His hand and I will have you in my heart. Thank you for your life well lived.

To the Traxler Family - I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Hal. It's been many years since I have seen all of you, but I have so many fond memories of Hal and your entire family. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. ~ Sue
