Dear Dr. Welsch,
I am very sorry to hear of your wife's death and have been praying for you.
I am another graduate of DePaul, from the '80s, and I appreciate everything I learned from classes with both of you, and used that knowledge in my work with computer systems. My health has not allowed me to continue working, but I continue to volunteer etc. with computers to keep up to date.
With sincere sympathy and prayers,

Dr Welsch,
I was very saddened to read of your wife's passing. As one of her students at DePaul who took two of her classes many years ago, I related well to her teaching style and appreciated the time she took to advise me on other accounting related careers and MIS when they were just starting to become common in schools and the workplace. She had much passion for the areas in which she taught. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dr. Welsch,
I am one of a million DePaul students who was touched by your wife, many years ago now. There were so few women in accounting then; she was our role model. I especially remember her easy laugh. I am saddened to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
