There are not enough words nor enough candles...
I light this candle as a symbol of the bright light that illuminates to embrace,protect,guide and comfort Aunt Fredna, Molly and Gretchen through this transition. I light this candle for my Uncle Wes,because he certainly was and will always be a bright and shining light in my life.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!

Fredna and Molly,
I remember coming over to talk to Wes and Fredna after my grandpa Jannusch died. We told stories of him trying to clear his driveway after a snow and ice storm and Wes stopping him and taking care of it for him. We laughed And talked about other memories of him and my grandma. It was such a blessing at the time to talk and remember him so fondly with people that knew him. I have always remembered and appreciated all the care you gave my grandparents when we couldn't be there. I pray Fredna and Molly are doing well and may Wes Rest In Peace.
Sincerely,
Karen Jannusch
