Dear Uncle Fritz, and my cousins Sandy, Lorrie and Shari,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Aunt Janet was incredible! One of the sweetest and kindest ladies I've ever known. I have many fond memories of visiting all of you in that gorgeous big house in Sewickley so many years ago. She was an awesome mom and homemaker, and had a wicked sense of humor with a great laugh!

My sincerest condolences to all of you.
