I was so saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was so friendly and warm, and I was so glad to see her and share a hug at my mom's funeral just a year ago. Peace to all of you, and warm memories in the years to come.

Dear Ziggy, Nancy, Kurt, Barbara & Daniel- Your beloved , Janice , was a wonderful mother and wife, for sure. She made cookies which she graciously shared with Nancy and I when walking home from school on occasion. Janice had a cool 50's mom "vibe" and was so warm and friendly to my parents, family and self. Enjoyed being a part of shared lives across from Wedgewood Park. My Dad, Bob, really was a bud with Zig. It was so endearing to see you at the MU games. Take Care and take each day to say "Thanks", for the blessings we have been given in this life time. I hope that you have peace and lots of good memories. With Heartfelt Sympathy, Susie (Ottoson) & Bruce Holmstrom.
