Please accept my sympathy on the death of your mother. I was a grad student with your father in the late 1960's and remember your mother as the kindest and most gracious hostess at medical physics events, She was always cheerful in spite of putting up with the many demands and pressures of being of being the chairman's wife. I hope she finds the peace and rewards she most deserves.--Margaret

We send our sincerest condolences to Anne Marie, Carol, and Russ. We knew Von through her family's important work that established the field of medical physics at UW Madison. Von knew the importance of team work, and she helped us in medical physics know that we are all family by providing so many opportunities for us to get to know one another outside of lab doors. Von held dinners at their Breeze Terrace apartments, supported gatherings of medical physicists on the UW campus, and participated in special events, such as "canoe-ins" on the Wisconsin River to the Cameron Lone Rock property and even 7AM breakfast "picnics" at Vilas Park zoo. Von joined her husband John in welcoming so many of us not just as scientists but as family. We learned through her that a career is built upon relationships, and Von was so instrumental in each of our journeys. We will miss this great woman. She has helped to build a legacy, and we will never forget. Jim and Ann Marie Zagzebski

It was a pleasure getting to know Von. She was so lucky to have such devoted daughters that would visit everyday. Von's humor would always make me smile no matter what kind of day I was having. Know that she is at rest and at peace. We will all miss her at Capitol Lakes.

Dear AnnMarie, Carol and Russ, We are happy to have known Von, the wonderful woman that graciously embellished John in all of his endeavors and accomplishments. The gentle presence that will be remembered for her many gifts that added much to John's life. They were a wonderful duo and Von an outstanding woman in her own right! Darlene and Chuck Mistretta
