Joe & Mitzi were so much a part of our lives, especially after we lost my dad. They would come on Sunday mornings and visit. Each of us would have 15 minutes to delight them with whatever was going on. Then we'd have a wonderful visit. Joe & Mitzi were people of faith...and they shared this faith with us. I grieve for the loss of Mitzi. I do know that she rests with our Heavenly Father and that Joe and my dad welcomed her to them.

So sorry to hear of Mary (Mitzi's) passing. Remembering many Sunday mornings in Allen Park, playing the piano for her and Joe. Loved her very much but I know that she is with her Joe and is happy now.

God Bless my dear Godmother and may she be eternally happy in reuniting with my Godfather, Joe. My heart is heavy with loss, but joyous for that reunion.
