Bud,Ann,Elaine,
I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Jean. I always thought the world of her. I know you mom will be truly missed. I remember all the good times we would have going to Aunt Jean's. I don't know if you all remember me or not. I would always come down with mom and Joe. And always Jody and Joy would be there to. As a child I do remember having a lot of fun. She was a great and loving woman and always made me feel so welcome. I'm just so sorry to hear of her passing.

Dear Bud, Elaine, and Ann,
You have lost a loving wife and mother and I have lost a big sister. That is what Faye has been to me. We had a lot of fun and many laughs. She took me under her wing, when I started working for the Corps of Engineers. No matter where I went that wing gave me love and strength. Faye was the person I could go to, when I was hurt or confused. Of course, she was my big sister, who I looked up to and who had all the wisdom of the world. My children and grandchildren considered youall members of our family. We love you both so very much. Our sympathy to the three of you and the rest of the family. Faye was truly loved and will be sorely missed.
Your Family in New Hampshire: Kitty, Becky, (Cathy), Allan, Ryan and Diana, Josh and Walter. And the little ones too, Autumn and Robert.

Bud, Scott, and family; I am very sorry to hear about Faye. I didn't know her well, but her smile really lit up the bowling alley when she was active with the league. She was a special lady and will be missed.

Dear Bud & Rayma,
I was so very heartfully hurt when I heard of Jeans' leaving us to the better world. As we know, her pain is gone, but ours will remain as we are saddened by our loss. But as we remember the good times, the laughing til we couldn't stop, and the long and unforgetful conversions,our grieving will maybe be eased a little. I loved when I visted you, and when you came to Wisconsin to visit me. This is such a shock to me, that all I can do is say again how deeply sorry I am. Call me, if you ever want a shoulder to lean on....as I used yours for comfort many times before.(Give a hug to Joe for me) Love, Your other sister Jean

Bud,
So sorry to read about Faye. I know her and Marge are looking down on us, smiling and having a drink. Maybe bowling or playing cards. There were too many goodtimes to remember. I will be out of town this week and won't be able to attend the viewing or the funeral. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Faye had a good man for 31 years. She will be deeply missed.
