Dear Uncle Lowie and Family, This is such a very difficult time for you all, and I am so very sorry since hearing that Aunt Lenore had died. I was blessed to have had a very long conversation with her only days before she passed, and she told me then, that she was very tired and ready to be taken out of the pain she was in. She loved you all so very much, and I will always think of her and how she told me of the things you all loved to do together as a family. I pray that God will give you the strength to get through these days, and that you will always know how very much she loved you all. With many prayers, and all of my heartfelt sympathy, until the day when we will all be together for Eternity, Love, Jean Larkin (daughter of Glenn H. Bittner)

Lowell,
I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you constantly. Lenore will always be at the center of my heart. She is a rare and special woman. I love her so very much. I could not have asked for a more loving grandmother to our children. She will always be reflected in Krystle and Jaryd's eyes.
Sincerely,
TONY & MARGARET JACKOWSKI
