I remember Janet and Jack when my parents, Rev Wally and Dorothea Gammelin, lived across the street from them on Oxford Ct in Neenah. What great neighbors they were to them and very very helpful. Your mom also knew my dad when he was a pastor in Milwaukee, May you feel our Heavenly Father’s arms surrounding you and giving you peace and comfort. Mary Gammelin. Manitowoc
