   Dear Steve, Deb, Carol Jean, Dan, Dale and Kelly,
   Julie and I are really sorry to hear about Jane. Your family and especially Jane was very much part of our family when we were kids. We had a lot of great times together and enjoyed each others company very much. Julie always mentioned how Jane was so very accepting to her and we knew she had a great time at our wedding and our farm reception. Those times were great and unforgettable. Jane was an inspiration to all of us. I really wish I could come up to the funeral just to see all of you but we are trying stay low during these times at least till we all get our shots. We are very sorry about Jane but remember all the good times with her and her kindness that that she gave to everyone.
   Love all of you, Julie and Gene.

   PS:If any of you are ever in the Madison area, stop by and see us, we also have a place for you to stay if you ever need it.
