October 10, 2022 at 1:21 pmTo the children of Walt & Miriam, I have many memories of them from years @ Our Savior Lutheran Church & School together with them. They both were beautiful friends, Miriam as the school secretary and thought so highly of Walt; I still can see his wonderful smile. Both of them were so kind; we will see them again in heaven some day.
Our sympathy Bruce & Kathy Bond

October 14, 2022 at 9:53 amI am just reading this and want to send my sincere condolences to the Janetzke family. Walt is a second cousin and I always loved to see the cousins and Aunt Lillian (My grandmother Marjorie’s sister) and Uncle Dan. He lived a full & meaningful life and leaves a great legacy and for that I wish you peace and many fond memories!
