As John and Mitzi were a treat to all of us here on earth, they will also be loved and respected in Heaven. A great loss… My condolences to the family.
Mr. Greiner lives in our neighborhood and his son Jon was a classmate of my father’s at Weir High. Our family sends heartfelt condolences to the Greiner family during this difficult time.
Dear Steve and Jon, I wanted to send our family’s condolences and to let you know that you have been in our prayers. I was in Weirton earlier in the month to see my Mom at the nursing home, and I was talking about your Mom and Dad with my Aunt Mickey Martich. Our thoughts are with you. Mike Musulin
