Dear Grandma,
I still miss you, when I call your house and no one answers I have to stop myself from singing a song on the answering machine just in case you were in the basement or didn't here the phone. Corey is coming back on Wednesday he is happy and he was happy to see you just before he left for Iraq. I wanted to make mac and cheese for lunch today but that got me down. How did you make it? Well I will keep trying. It is this time of year that I would be worrying about what to get you for your birthday. For sure some more note cards, maybe a picture of jaiden. or one of our framed wedding pics. I am so glad you were there. I wish would have danced with you. I love you, thanks for everything. Don't forget May 7th is when I graduate you and dad had better be there! Love always,
Anyea Lyn Hake

The world has lost a beautiful, loving spirit, and as her godson and nephew, I join others that held her dear in mourning her passing. My heart is with her siblings, son, and daughter as together, though separated by the miles between us, we remember how she touched and bettered our lives.

Jennifer and Kerry,
Aunt Doris will be missed but her memory lives on as a fun loving gal that loved her Ziegler family. From the Ozark camping trips with our families in the early years to 'happy hour' in Puerto Vallarta in the later years, every memory includes fun and love for family.
Lori and I will miss her and mourn with both of you.

Jenifer,Kerry and family,
Hearing about your Mother's passing brought back memories that made me smile. I remember your mother always smiling and caring for others. My Mom (Eleanor Ziegler Goebel) and Doris were fortunate to be friends as well as cousins. I remember always enjoying the times I saw and visited with Doris and your Dad when I was younger. Losing a parent is never easy no matter what your age. I hope the care and comfort of family and friends help to ease your pain during this difficult time. I am sorry I am not able to be there to offer my condolences in person but unfortunately I have another funeral to attend at the same time. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Sue (Goebel) Koehnen

Dear Jenny,
Your mother and dad have been such a special part of our lives. We remember moving up to Minnesota in a snow storm and your folks took us into their home as we got our lives in order during that time. We loved them both so much. We are so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Please know we are here for you any time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Ev and Gladys

To the family of Doris:
We send our sympathy to all of you. We have many fond memories of Doris. She used to come to Green Isle to visit my parents, Hugo and Lorna Ziegler. Then they would continue on to Gaylord and visit us. Uncle Albert was a gem as well. He loved family history and we always got on that subject. Doris and my aunt Eleanor did a lot of things together and I would meet her there as well. She loved to visit. May all the fond memories you have of her be a comfort to all of you at this time.
From her cousins once removed,
Ruben and Eldrene Ebert.

Jennifer & Kerry,
I am so sorry about your mothers passing. Most of my memories of her was when I was a child and on vacation with your mom and dad in upper Michigan and Minnesota in the 70's and 80's. Those are special memories. Your mom always had a way to make me laugh, maybe it was because she was so silly and just seemed to enjoy the moment or maybe it was because of her wonderful smile, I don't know. What I do know is that she will always have a special place in my heart as my dear Aunt Doris.
Love your cousin Jeff Darnell

Memories of my Grandma,
she once convinced me for ten straight years that she as 64 every year. (I was young and unobservant)
she showed my how to wrap gifts and pick out the best paper
she gave me blue straws for Christmas once because the previous summer we went to white castle and I said how much I liked their blue straws and so she collected blue straws for months and gave them to me for Christmas.
She was honest,patient and happy.
She did not really like dogs all that much but never said it about my dog.
She used to rub my arm at night when I could not sleep. And she would stay up late with me sometimes.
She made the best pancakes and she also made me the only mac and cheese that I ever had that didn't come from a box, it was awesome.
She always made sure to stock the house with items I enjoy-especially peaches and mandarin oranges.
she would always send me newspaper clippings of things we talked about. I received many clippings on cell phone hands free devices because I would often call her from the road.
She could always make me laugh.
I liked watching the news in the kitchen with her while she curled her hair in the evenings.
She always kept track of everyone and gave me updates on all the family so I feel like I know everyone even though we may never have met.
I will never see a Cardinal without thinking about her.
She looked great in red.
I always liked how she ordered her coffee and how she put her saucer over the cup to keep it hot.
She gave me my Father and she was a wonderful grandmother. I love you Grandma. And Love to all my family during this hard time.

Hi Jennifer, I wanted to let you know that I was very sorry to hear about your loss and that you're in my thoughts.

Dear Laura and Ziegler siblings, we are so sorry for the loss of your sister. The Buucks and Zieglers were neighbors on Cheung Chou Island and then were interned together at Stanley Prison Camp in 1942. My parents were so grateful for the friendship and support of your family during those terrible months. We pray for the Lord's continued strength and comfort for you all. Elaine Buuck Schramm

We are saddened by the loss of your mother. When we moved to Bloomington years ago we were fortunate to have moved next door to such good neighbors. Doris was a lovely woman with a great smile and always a kind word. We will miss her.

Jennifer & Kerry:
My heart is aching for you both. I couldnt' believe it when Bill Ziegler, called to ask if I had received an email about your mother. He proceeded to let me know what had happened to your mother. Needless to say, Nov. 28th is always a hard day for my mother since we lost my father 16 years ago on the 28th. Doris was so warm hearted & we are blessed that we had our last visit with her here in Jefferson City in October, just one month ago! I remember having a baby shower that I was helping put on & all I could think about was how long is it going to be before I can get to talk to Aunt Doris, Ted (Mary Lou), Aunt Laura & Uncle Larry & Christopher. Time went by so quickly while you were here! Of course, I didn't get to visit with Aunt Doris as much as I would have liked but we had a very nice visit about lots of things! There is never enough time to see extended family, but we are enriched to have at least had the most precious times that she came & visited here. My mother-in-law & Doris were like 2 peas in a pod. She always talked of Doris very fondly. She has passed on in June of this year, but they are visiting now in heaven. She is reunited with not only your faither, but your 2 brothers as well. It is a time of sadness, but also a time to rejoice as she is with Jesus & now has eternal life. We will miss her very much, but we have very fond memories of her. That is what we are thankful for!

Jennifer and Kerry,
We are all so saddened by your Mom and my sister's death. It was so unexpected. As you both know, Doris and I were very, very close and I will miss her terribly. I wish I had some words of comfort for you two, but I don't. I would just like to state that I thought your Mom was the most kind, generous and thoughtful person I knew. She always had the knack of finding just the right gift to give to someone. She would hear someone admire an object and then, sure enough, at the next visit, that object would suddenly show up as a gift. Doris has vacationed with us many times and Carl and I have some wonderful memories of these occasions with both Doris, Lowell and you children. You are both very dear to us. We will pray for you as you go through this difficult time.
Love, Aunt Laura and Uncle Carl Darnell

Jennifer,
I was surprised to hear that Doris has passed away, I've thought about both of you the past year, seems we lost our e-mail connections. I always enjoyed you and Doris, you made special efforts to come to our family funerals and was proud to have been a "Ziegler". I remember Doris making arrangements for me to stay with your neighbor when I did some practice teaching. I won't be able to come to funeral but will keep you in my prayers, I know you have many wonderful memories of your Mom.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
