Dear Sharon and Linda,



We were so sorry to hear about the loss of Jan and that we missed the chance to say goodbye. It just happened to work out that we were on vacation at the time. I know that this is a terrible time for you and I know exactly how you feel, it is something that you never really get over just learn to accept and move on. Your Mom was a nice person and you must continue on by remembering all of the fun that you had WITH her and that she would WANT you to continue having fun even without her! Afterall she is probably having some fun right now with my Mom and other relatives and friends. Please know that our thoughts are always with you and if you ever need anything you know where to find us.



Love,



Lorie & Mike Ostrowski and Erv Larsen Sr.

Dear Sharon and Linda,

While we haven't spent much time together in our adult lives, we were all close as kids. I have many fond memories of you and your parents from my childhood. I know how sad you are now because I went through this when our dear Mom died five years ago. Try to dwell on the happy memories of your Mom rather than the last days of sickness.

You and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, cousin Sandy and family

Dear Linda and Sharon

So sorry for your loss. Your mother was a wonderful person and will be missed by all. When I picture the joyous reunion of your Mom and Dad after all these years it brings a smile to my face. Will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Love, your cousin Kathy

Dear Linda and Sharon,



The loss of a mother is a pain unmeasurable. I am sorry you must experience this pain as I did when I lost my mother, your aunt, Auntie Janice's sister. Now Nancy and Janice can play canasta together FORVEVER along with Auntie Anna in the heavens above. Someday we too will be able to join our loving mothers. Please know you are in the thoughts and prayers of all the Larsen Family during your time of grief.
