To Helen and families,
Our thoughts and prayers are for you during this time of great loss.
I have great memories of visiting you when I was a little kid, the stories and laughter. Your most excellent Minnesota accents.
Mom sharing how everyone was/is related. I strongly believe Art is up there in Heaven and now keeping a close eye on all of you.
I hope he looks my Dad up and they share a nice long walk, talking about their wives and how to keep those girls out of trouble.

The Mueller family:
So sorry for this enormous loss. However, we all know he is at peace and in the loving arms of his Father. He was such a good and faithful servant to the end. Uncle Art will always be the happy, joke telling, kind-hearted, loving and gracious soul I've come to know as my dear Uncle. He was always looking for ways to be of service and helpful. Through our families many trips to the Mayo Clinic, Uncle Art and Aunt Helen and the whole Mueller clan was always so kind and helpful and loving through our trials. What a wonderful family and legacy he left. Please know we mourn with you during this difficult time, but share all those wonderful memories. Believe me, he is still with you in spirit and will come to you daily and in many different ways, you'll see. God bless you all.
Hugs and prayers to you and your family in this difficult time!

Dearest Helen & The Mueller Family:
We came in contact with Art & Helen 15 years ago when we joined The Teams Of Our Lady Group. We quickly learned to know & love this beautiful couple! Art truly was a Gentle-Man who had a Loving Relationship with his Lord Jesus, Helen his wife of 63 years, Their 7 Children & Spouses, Grandchildren & Greatchildren. This Family demonstrated what A Family Circle is all about!! HIS LEGACY LIVES ON!!
Fly High With The Angels Art & Rest In Peace. You Touched Our Lives With Your Friendship & Love....We Are Better People Because Of This. We Have Lo??ed You & Will Miss You.
I worked with Art from 1977 to when he retired. A quality hard working man, who was very proud of his family. Sadly I am in Duluth taking care of my Mom and cannot make either function. I am certain he has reunited with Don Jensen, a Detective Art shared an office with for years, and they are reminiscing. He walks with God.
Dear Helen & the Mueller Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Helen, I remember you and Art from St. Francis of Assisi parish. You and Art were always together working side by side. You touched my heart in so many ways. I know the past days, weeks and months have been difficult ones, but I am here for you.
Sandy Molenda, Madonna Living Community Foundation

Hugs and Prayers to all......
My condolences to the family.
Art was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed.
