COL "B" and Family, Dorothy Bielefeld was the epitome of the "Colonel's Lady." She was one of the most thoughtful, gracious, loving, genuine people we have known. Along with you, the 159th, and all of us, have lost a real treasure; but in His timing we will see her again. We loved her, and we love you, Henry. Thanks for your wonderful imprints on our lives. Our prayers will be with you during the transitions ahead.
COL (Ret) Ralph W. Melcher

We are so sad today! We lost one of our deariest friends and treasured customers. Mrs.Bielefield we will miss you dearly! We will miss having her walk threw our doors again, asking "what's new, that I haven't seen." She was an angel on earth and now she will forever be an angel in heaven.

We love her with all our hearts!

Your Boys,
John & Tim

Colonel "B" and family - our prayers are with you all. Mrs "B" was a graceful compassionate woman; we will miss her. Bill and I both were so blessed to have been able to meet and get to know you both through our parents Tom and Nellie Daniels and the 159th. Thank you, memories will live on.
