Janelle and family, we are so sad to hear about the passing of Jannie. Both Otto and Jannie played such an important role during our earlier days, when Roger and Otto worked together at Union Electric.
As time went on we didn’t see them nearly as often, but they were, and still are, dear to our hearts. Condolences, Roger and Rosetta Hagan
