My deepest condolences to the Vietzke family. I remember stopping in at the Dew Drop with my dad quite often; always enjoyed the atmosphere. Best wishes to Alison (RRHS ’91) and Cara (RRHS ’89).

To all of Vera’s family:I was saddened to hear of Vera’s passing. I have many, many great childhood memories with your family and with Vera as well, as we all grew up next to each other. All the play dates, your Mom being my Girl Scout leader…..and the meals……every day was a feast at your house. Your Mom could cook and she enjoyed feeding another mouth, even though your house was always full!
I’m downstate, so I won’t be there to celebrate your Moms life, but I will definitely be there in spirit. Rely on each other, your wonderful memories and the fact she is once again reunited with your Dad and sisters, to help you all get through the trying days ahead. With deepest sympathies, and fondest memories…..
