So sorry in the loss of your mother Janie. She was such a classy lady - knowing her and your dad thru Henry & Margaret DeWitt. When on Anna Maria Island in Feb. we always walked on the long pier where we looked for your dad's name on the wood plank.

Gertie, was always smiling and fun to be around. We know you will all miss her and we want to let you know that we are holding you in our prayers as you grieve her passing.

Cousins, thinking of you all at this time and remembering many great times in my life that I shared with your mom. She was one of a kind and so glad she was my Aunt. May God bless you all! Ken Olthouse and Debbie too.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family. During this difficult time, God is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit He saves. Psalms 34:18
