Dear Deisler family,
My deepest sympathies on your loss - of one of the most beautiful women I have ever known. "Mrs. D's" smile and laugh were contagious. One especially fond memory I have is playing Gin with Jackie in the sunroom in Clearwater, Florida. Your family is in my prayers. Love Diane (Princinsky) Krajkowski

Tony -- you probably don't remember me but I think of you two often. I'm the
proud owner of the barrel bar and bar stools that I bought from you many moons
ago so every time I go downstairs I think of you. I still remember Jackie with her
new noodle making machine she had going at full steam when I visited one day.
Noodles everywhere, even hanging on chair backs. Had good times with her
and am sorry to hear of her passing. Also still have a shadowbox she made.
Sincere sympathies to you and your family. Pat Theuer

Mary Jo,
Sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I honestly thought of our parents the other day. I needed to take my Christmas wreath down and remembered how our parents would see who could hold out the longest. One day we came home and your parents put our wreath up the flag pole!
I hope you had many enjoyable years with your mom. I always felt I got short changed on that one.
Regards,
Becky Helveston Bouchey
