Sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I worked with your Mom back when she worked at Dairyland Insurance. Then Pete worked with Jon at the Capitol Police. She was a very nice and fun lady. Our thoughts are with all of you. Jane and Pete Peterson

Grandma,
Some folks say, whenever loved ones pass on...always remember the great times you shared. When I think of those times, it always brings a smile to my face and I know you'll be watching us from above.
I will forever miss our family visits to see you and Aunt Jan. Your favorite corner chair, where you always sat watching your beloved UW-Badgers and/or golf tournaments. It still amazes me you viewed your favorite sports on such a small tv!
Or how about the Christmas times in Madison. You always had the same christmas ornaments/decorations and always had them in the same locations in your home. As a kid growing up, to where I am now...I always loved that during the holidays! I guess Dad won't be getting his yearly supply of socks from you anymore! I want you to know, these holiday traditions will continue with the Pepper family.
I only wished you were able to see Jaxon. I understand why you did not want to see him while in the nursing home and I know you will always be with him. You and Grandpa Pep will always be with our family, in our hearts and checking in on us from time to time.
We miss and love you Grandma very much! Say "Hi" to Grandpa for us and keep cheering on your Badgers from heaven!
Love,
Joe
