To the family, you will not know me, however I knew your wife/mother. I was sitting at my scrapbooking weekend today and reminiscing on how I got into this in 1997. About 3 months after my son was born. So many of the Emergency Department staff would bring their albums in and show their creative memory pages off...I was intrigued as a NON-artistic person. I say this all to let you know how your wife/mom touched me to begin this journey, now 27 years later. I hope you have peace in these days and this reminds you of another way your wife/mother touched so many people.
Respectfully

I first met Steve at Six Flags in 1977. I was a caricature artist and worked with John Lee, Dan Martin, Jeff Struckman. Steve was 16 and I was 20 and he joined our car pool. In 1978 Steve and I went out to six flags, but they wanted Steve to shave his red beard. Steve said, "Let's do our own shows and Fairs this year, Bob." Thus began our age of "Free Lance". Strausenfest, St. Genevieve, etc. I met Janet Scherrer when we drawing at VP Fair in 1982. Thus became the couple, Steve and Janet. We went to their wedding at a church in Festus and their reception at the Conservation Building near Bloomsdale. Thus I had become familiar with Janet and her jewelry and Steve and his fishing. They will be missed.

From our family to yours we are all deeply saddened by this awful time for you, Amy. Your mother and father were always a joy to be around. So kind and into nature.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Janet and Eric. I met Janet through my sister Lisa, and remember her being such a talented artist and kind person. Eric and Amy went to school with my nephews so no doubt this saddens all their friends as well. May Janet and Eric rest in peace. May God be with Amy and all others touched by this tragedy during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,

So stunned and saddened by this inexplicable tragedy. I will miss Janet's ever-present smile and her exquisite creative work. I am a Scherrer-side cousin, and I know how much this has impacted that side of the family. My heart goes out to Amy.

Your mom opened her home and heart so many of us could work on our "Creative Memories". I will cherish the time I spent with her. She was so gracious, kind and full of sunshine.
