It's Marisa (Luz) Ruschak and John.We were so sad to hear about John. I look at his pic and he looks so much like the guy that used to take me for rides through Interlaken way back when.Keep the faith. Death is not normal. We survive by leaning on each other but its not easy. Love to you all. Find strength in the promise that death will be no more! How much we love you all. Time does not change that! xoxoxo

I'm sorry we never got to speak before you were no longer able to speak. My fault. I guess it's up to me.

Dear Vowteras Family,
I am sorry for your lost but the memories of this man you will never forget. I can recall hours of talking to him about life and how much value life has. I will never forget the tailgates and the time that I was able to spend with this great man. I wish I could be there in person but please call if you need anything or even just to talk.
