Our thoughts & prayers are with you and the family.I remember spending summer days/nights at the house with Valerie,swimming out in the back pool. Auntie Tilly and Uncle Otto would come over by Grandma Ozzga's. Those were "the good ol'e days, especially cause we were all young." Our love & prayers to you all!

My condolences, prayers and thoughts are with my cousins who I have not seen in many years since life has taken us down different paths over the years of growing older. My aunt Tillie (sister to my mother, Natalie Schaefer) will always be remembered as she has played a special part in my growing up years. Since the loss of my parents Natalie & Russell, my condolences go out to my cousins and their families today. May God bless you all. Chris Scalise (Schaefer).
