I remember how you and my Mom (Joan Herbst) would sit together at family gatherings and just laugh and laugh together. It felt so good in my heart to be part of that time.

Grandma I will never forget the lessons you and Grandpa taught me as a kid. You were always there through everything and love you and Grandpa for it. May you now spend eternity in heaven with Grandpa and Mike. I will never forget the love and compassion I received from you. Rest easy Grandma...

My sincerest condolences go out to you for the passing of your beloved, Janet. I'm sure that she will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Please be comforted by the scripture at Isaiah 25:8 which says, "He will swallow up death forever...." Our loving God has promised to restore our dear loved ones to perfect life on a paradise earth through his Son, Christ Jesus (John 5: 28,29). Please visit jw.org to learn more about God's trustworthy promise of the resurrection. I'm sure it will bring you much comfort. Best wishes to you & your family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I was not the "playmate" you had in mind when Mom and Dad had me, but you loved me still. You taught my daughter how to chew gum and not get caught doing so. You are the godmother to my son. The best "Aunti" my kids could have had. btw.. I watched Lawrence Welk just for you. You will be greatly missed. Your loving sister, Susie xoxo
