My Dearest Mimi,

I am giving this a second try, technology...

You and Paul were always there for all the family, and others in need. Your example and guidance will take us forwars.

Tearfully, remembering all the Christmases and the paties and reunions.

If it were not for you and your kick in my butt I would have never made it through SJSU. As I and my family go forth so too will your's and Paul's legacy.

It is with great love that we bid you peace,

David Muetzenberg

My Dearest Mimi,

Thank you for all your help, your guidance, the kick in the butt to get me through SJSU, but most of all the Christmases, all of the Christmases.

Tearfully we bid you peace, and joy, and comfort in your journey with Him at His table to enjoy His bounty, as you and Paul were always sharing of your table and your bounty.

With much love, and much respect,
David, Kae, William, Michael

Our sweet Auntie Dottie-

You were so wonderfully loving and cheerful. You're sweet smile and infectious laughter is what I will always remember.
I loved our ‘tea parties' we would have with Auntie Jay. I enjoyed hearing all the stories you both would tell about the fashion shows,shopping, and your travels.
You will be missed and thank you for such joyous memories. You were definitely a big part of our family and my childhood.

Love,
Jenna Larin and Taylor.
