Merrily ZimmerBecky, Craig and family, My sincere condolences upon the loss of your mother. It's been many years since we worked together, but I remember her as if it were yesterday. She had an infectious smile and great sense of humor. She loved her patients. I thought of her recently when I ran into her email at WE Energies. I don't think I ever used it. It's very difficult to lose a mother at any age, but she was way too young to go. With Sympathy, Merrily ZImmer

Cindy SchaeferBecky and family my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and the rest of your family. I enjoyed working with Jill at We Energies. I loved her humor and how she'd bring a smile to your face/laughter in your heart. Matter of fact, just last week I was thinking about her. I'm leading a meeting at church so I'll miss the visitation, but know that I am thinking about you and the family and am sorry for your loss. Peace to all, Cindy
