Condolences are closed.
My Deepest Sympathy goes out to the Vellema Family at this time.
I am the oldest daughter of Myra Nitz (Myra Wagner). She is currently residing at Markesan Resident Home. I know she would want to express her Sympathy to the family, so I am doing it for her.
Since she was a Wagner, so she would be a cousin to Nova. Dennis and Jane, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Vellema family. We know he will be missed by many whose lives he touched and knew him well. The loss for each will be different, but hopefully each will lend support to the next as many join in remembering and honoring a life well lived.
