Lovingly, your husband, Aulis."

I will never forget the zeal and enthusiasm of this woman of God, who shared the wonderful story of Jesus without compromise, without hesitation, and above all with an unwavering hope of seeing souls come to salvation. There was no age group she did not hold dear, and no ethnic group she did not seek to reach with Christ’s outstretched hand. Thank you, Mrs. Manninen Dominic Kibale

While I know Aino is celebrating in heaven, my heart feels sadness. Aino was like a second mother to me growing up and so many of my happiest childhood memories were had having sleepovers with Johanna and feeling always at home in her home. When I think of Aino I think of motherly love. Sending prayers and blessings, my heart is with you all. - Elisa

Dear Aulis and family. Our deepest condolences to you and your family... We will always remember Aino for her kindness and generosity. She was a dedicated servant of the Lord. May God bless you all. Timo and Paula
Hello Aulis, Eino has a fond place in my heart. She was always patient and loving and such a wonderful mom and wife. I have many happy memories of visiting you when our children were young (and we were too!). You and your family made us feel welcome and happy. We all share a love of children and of the outdoors. We skiied together a few times, but you Finns were always in front, gliding along effortlessly while I struggled to keep you in sight. I am sorry Eino is gone, and I hope you have a good and rewarding life without her, the way she would want. Take care Aulis and thank-you for all the great visits and happy memories. I can still taste Eino's cinnamon buns. She had a good life. Michael Wissenz
Rukouksin kannan teita kaikkia Jumalani eteen. Syvassa surussa olkoon Jumalan Pyhan Hengen lasnaolo teita kaikkia lohduttamassa ja kantamassa. Aino oli hyva ystava ja auttaja monien vuosien varrella. Han oli minulle kuin rakas iso-sisko. Nyt han saa katsella Kristuksen kasvoja taivaallisissa.
Our sincere condolences. May the Lord comfort you .
Our condolences to each of you in your loss.
