Dear Jack and Family,
I was shocked to learn of Carol's passing - I did not know she was ill. I learned of her death after the funeral so I apologize for not attending the wake. Carol was a wonderful woman and all who knew her loved her. You are all blessed to have had her love and I pray wonderful happy memories sustain each of you in your grief at this time. God bless all of you and I hope to see you soon. Sue Wessel Petter

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Family.
Unfortunately, with time and distance sometimes you lose touch, but memories can take you back to a smile/laugh or a nick name (Jiminy Cricket) that makes you remember a very special person.
Love,
Jim, Ana, Kelly and Gabriella
