I am so sad to think about VZ not being with us anymore. She was such a big part of my life growing up and the bond that she shared with Nana was truly one of a kind. I have so many wonderful memories of VZ that I will cherish forever. She will be missed dearly. I wish I could be there for the services but please know I am there in spirit. Our thoughts and prayers and with all of you... Much love, Linnea(Brunstrom)Pichette, Adam & Owen

Jahne Family: Even though we were not "family" we felt like family-we attended a lot of parties, holidays and picnics at Ann & Bill Millers-whom the Dennler family has known since before I can remember. My thoughts and prayers go to your family, Vezzie was a very special lady-I can hear her soft spoken voice and see her twinkling eyes as well as her beautiful smile. I always enjoyed talking to her-I was a little girl in braids then. Today I have great memories that stay with me. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our deepest sympathy to the
Jahne Family:

We have such treasured memories of the Sadler, Miller, Jahne and Newton family gatherings. They are such an important part of our childhood...with your Mom (Vezzie) and Dad, Anna Mae, Uncle Bill, our Mom and Dad, Arline and Newt, and all of us kids having such a great time, the more the merrier! The very best of times on New London Tpke with the picnics and the pool and now the stories we hold dear of our parents shenanigans, what wonderful friends and family we were so fortunate to have! The very awesome 40th Anniversary party you gave with Bruce to both sets of parents!

My Mom is so sad to hear of her good friend's passing as we are, as well. Now with her wonderful sense of humor, she is telling her stories with the loved ones who went before her.

As we know so well, time will soften our sadness and we will all be together someday!

With Love, The Newton Family

It was delightful working with Edith at
The Villager at Avery Heights. She was
a kind and loving person whose family meant the world to her. I am sure she will be sadly missed by those who loved her.
