Janine and Michael, we were so shocked and saddened to hear about Ziggy. He adored and loved you both so much and so proud of Michael.
He was one hell of a guy, the most thoughtful, sweet and caring person. He will be missed by many.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and cherish the memories you have and keep them close to your heart, no one can take those away from you ever!
God bless and RIP Zig!! Love you! Judy & Michael
We shall meet, but we shall miss him
There will be the vacant chair
But though we no more possess him
Still our hearts his memory bear
But a while ago we gathered
Friendship beaming in each eye
Now the Golden cord is severed
He has passed to realms on high
RIP Ziggy! You will be dearly missed!
There are stars that go out in the darkness but whose silvery light still shines on; there are roses whose perfume still lingers when blossoms have faded and gone; there are hearts whose love is still beating when the life current no longer flows; Ziggy’s love lives on with the living like the soul of the star and the rose.
So sorry for your loss, we understand your grief and we sympathize with you. We share your sorrow.
Love John and Katherine
