Not sure what to say?

Hi Janie Rose,
I just want to express my regrets to you for Aunt Fanny. I just heard today from Jan about this way to contact you and to express my sorrow. I go back in my mind to those long ago days when we played and had fun and had any number of fights and laughter. Take care of yourself and say hi to Bill for me.

I will always remember the fun we all had at the Wargel camp. They were some of my best memories. Passing around the can of home brew. The Wargel's sure knew how to have fun. Janice Wargel Hilliker

Nan and Razor were the best 80-year-old, bike-riding, volleyball-playing, boating, Ponce de Leon-admiring, popcorn-eating, harmonica and ukelele-playing, dancing, fun people I've ever met!

I was the luckiest kid in the world to have Nan and Razor for grandparents. They were so much fun and spoiled us rotten. We got waited on hand and foot, played games and rode bikes everywhere and never got in trouble!

Nan was at the center of whatever was happening. She made her own fun if there wasn't any around, and set a great example for us by singing songs, dancing, and just being ready to have a good time and creating a home filled with laughter. My life was blessed by having...

Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She sounds like she was a wonderful mother and grandmother. Your father was my mother's first cousin, Cecelia (Stoesser) Foster. We share the same great grandfather, Martin Ritter, Sr.

Dear Janie and Bill,
I'm so sorry to hear of your mothers' passing. It is with a heavy heart that I send you my love and sympathy. I know it is so hard to lose your mother, but I also know that she is in another beautiful place now.
I have memories of your mother that make me smile, she was so special and everyone that knew her, loved her. She will be missed.
All the best to you and your family,
Love, Diane

Janie and Bill,
It was an honor to know your Mom...and your Dad. The phrase of hers "Everything is Beautiful" will always stay in my heart because of her. I recall you saying that when she couldn't remember much else because of her illness, she was still able to say "Everything is Beautiful". What a beautiful memory to have forever in your hearts, because God allowed her to retain that thought. Now in Heaven "Everything truly is Beautiful"......more beautiful than ever before. We Love...

Janie,
I was very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Now that this phase of her journey has ended we can remeber all the good things, and celebrate her time with us.
God bless you, Bill and your family
