Dear Karen and family,
I am so sorry to hear about the death of your father. Words seem so inadequate in times like this as I have just gone through this myself. Hold on to your memories of your dad and share them always with your kids. Every once in a while, you’ll see your dad in your kids and it’ll make you smile.
Thinking of you at this difficult time,
Lisa Blue

For 9 years we had the privilege of being neighbors to Ed & Ann Steinbach. There are no better people in the Village of Zurich. They were warm and welcoming to us and we spent many hours of fun together. Ed was always in good humor and would give a wave of good day at each opportunity. In life we meet those who we remember and those we don’t — its easy to remember this couple.
