Not sure what to say?

Bill, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful person. I have known Mrs Panzer since I was in kindergarten with her son, Bill. She was a dear friend of my mother, and Mrs Panzer was truly like a second mother to me and so many others. Even though our family moved away from Riverdale, our families always kept in touch. As an adult, I always visited her, Mr Panzer, and Bill when I was back in Chicago. I'm so glad that my husband and children got the chance to know her. She...

In loving memory of a wonderful person.

What an amazing woman and a remarkable life. I am blessed to have known her. Growing up Julie was part of our family. My nieces called her “grandma” - a role she enjoyed! She had an effervescent personality and lit up every room she entered. I’ll always remember her laugh and beautiful smile. Thank you Bill for sharing your mom with my family. Suz

In honor of an amazing woman, Julie Panzer. I can't say enough about this very special lady who would just light up a room the minute she walked in with her beautiful smile and sparkling personality. She was down to earth, a loving wife, pretty talented, a great mom and a very special lady to my 2 daughters one of whom was even named after her. Grandma Julie was truly a part of our family and truly loved. She patiently taught me how to crochet and understood my frustration with it but I still...

So sorry to hear of Grandma’s passing. She has provided me with the warmest memories of my childhood. From playing darts in the basement to games and snacks - always some Cheetos - and the hand knitted blankets she made, I was so very blessed to call her Grandma. She showered me with love and I will always keep those memories with me. Sending you all our love Uncle Bill.

Aunt Julie was my favorite!
Always cheerful and smiling and would always send a birthday card. She will be dearly missed!

So many years of memories, of seeing Aunt Julie at our family gatherings and how she brought so much joy to our family. She is my late grandma Mikruts sister, she was such a comfort to have her with us all those special times, she was so committed to family. Family lives forever and so will you Aunt Julie, thank you for years of being you, being there for our family! She will be greatly missed. Shari Mikrut Turner
