I will always remember the kind words she spoke to me as I was departing her congregation. Her phone messages were thoughtful and very affirming. I will miss her but rejoice knowing I will see her in heaven! God bless this dear sister!

Dearest Fuzz,

I will miss my oldest and one of my best friends for the last 50 plus years. Our frequent telephone calls and cards and notes can never be forgotten. I will think of you often and remember the years since we met as teenagers so very fondly.

My condolences to Debbie and Dan and your family. You will be sorely mised.

I remember the adventures we were all part of, as teenagers, our connection as we married cousins, and the friendly times we spent together. I pray we will see each other again, in the Lord's presence.

Fuzzie,
With all my heart I will miss you as a favorite cousin, and I will miss those all too familiar cards from you with the letter "i" punctuated with that cute little circle instead of an ordinary "period." You hold many favorite memories in my heart and our prayers are with your family and for you, as you arrive safely and peacefully Home.

Louis, Debbie, & Dan,
Our thoughts are with you. I will always remember my cousin as the person I admired while growing up. And the kindness shown by her and Louis during my visits to Granny's house. Deb & Dan, mom always kept me updated on your progress as you 2 grew and how very proud she was of you both. Even though we live miles apart..... you are always our cousins. She will always be part of you and now lives in perfect peace (thanks be to God for her life).
Love,
Dolores (Rissling) & family
