Not sure what to say?

Fair winds and following seas

I just found out our former Dr. passed away. He was our family doctor for many years.
My sympathy to Oneta and family.

As long as I lived in Illinois he was there for me and I bless him for his wisdom teaching and understanding. I have survived cancer twice a stroke hip replacement etc. And thanks to him I keep moving and exercising.




Dr. Jensen was our family doctor for quite a few years. Then when I became an adult I took my family to him. He helped us through some bad times (physically), always with a smile. He delivered my oldest daughter in 1981 but had stopped that practice when my youngest came in 1996, but he and Oneta sure ribbed me about being a young (44 years old) mother! He also did all our preparatory doctoring when we moved overseas in 1997. I'm glad we knew him. He wasn't perfect, but he did catch...

I just researched and found that our former dr passed away. So sorry to hear this. He was a good dr and made you feel like you were part of his family. He doctored our family, my kids and my mom. She made several stand up stuffed Mickey and Minnie Mouse "dolls" for him. I am so glad to have known him and he also would teach you about medical things while treating you. I learned a lot from him about medical things and medicine. They just don't make drs like him anymore. Goodbye to a great dr.

I am so sorry to hear that Richard (Dr. Jensen) passed away. He was our family doctor for years and years, almost 50 years I think. He was a wonderful and caring doctor. My sympathies to Oneta, Jerry and Jill and the entire family.

Dear Mrs. Jensen and family,

Please accept condolences from me and the entire Moy family of former How How Restaurant of South Holland. We are so grateful for you and Dr. Jensen came to my parents' restaurant all the time for many, many years. A lot of good memory with Dr. Jensen, you, and your children.
All of my love and gratitude! Take care.

Richard was an honest, and trusted colleague with whom I was proud to be associated with, and all his patients had a great respect for him. Richard had a great respect for his profession and all of his patients. We'll miss him

Dear Mrs. Jensen,

Please accept condolences from all of us at the Illinois Osteopathic Medical Society who knew you and your husband for many years. Thank you for your service to both the IOMS and the Advocates (nee Auxiliary).

May you be blessed with good memories of your life together.
