Just wanted to extend my sympathy to you and your family. Jean was just across the hall from my grandmother, Rita Steffen at the Assisted Living in Hartington. I enjoyed her smile and she encouraged me to continue to pray for Jeremy and his studies. One day I was in putting up some pictures for Grandma and Jean asked me if I would come into her room and put a cross up for her. She wanted the cross in her living room by her lamp. Jeremy just want you to know that I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. We lost Grandpa this summer and I am comforted knowing that he is seeing the face of God at this point in time.

Jean's Family - My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your Mother, Grandmother, and friend... May God bless you with loving memories that make you smile through the tears and give you peace as you say your good-byes. I don't have many happy childhood memories from going to church in St. Helena that do not include your family.
In prayer, Peggy (Wiepen) Mach
Our deepest sympathy to all of Jeans family. We are so glad we stopped to see Jean and Joan this summer when we were down for weddings. We would have come for the funeral but didn't know the time. Jim was an attendant at Jean and Gerald's wedding. We forget to use our computers until it is too late for information. May God keep you in his care.

Dear Hans family,
My sympathy to all of you. This year has not been very kind to either of our families but our Moms have both received their greatest reward!! The heavenly choir will sound good this year with both of them there. Keeping you all in my prayers. Wish I could have been there for you as you were for all of the Wieselers. Love you all!
Lois (Wieseler) Nigrin
My deepest sympathy to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
