Curt and family,
I felt so honored that you thought to include us with the beautiful invitation for Jean’s Celebration of Life. We have so many fond memories of our time in Milwaukee with Welke’s House of Roses. Thank you for your friendship and giving us a start as newlyweds. Curt, your title is still intact as the best boss I’ve ever had over the years. You and Jean took me in and made me feel like family. I remember Jean’s contagious smile so well. ?? Kevin still says one of his best part-time jobs was delivering flowers during the holidays. Everyone was always so happy to see him! ??
I recall several years back when I received your call that you would be stopping in for a visit after Jean received her diagnosis. It was so lovely to visit with you both and I recall how honored I felt that you took the time to look me up after all those years. I have so many treasured memories of you and Jean. We would so love to attend Jean’s celebration tomorrow but Kevin has come out of retirement and tomorrow he will begin serving his second vacancy call.
We extend to you all our deepest sympathies. It’s hard to lose someone so special at any age. At the same time we celebrate with you a life will lived. God Bless!

Dear Uncle Curt and Family;
Thank you so much for sending me the beautiful invitation to attend Aunt Jean's memorial service! How I wish I could be there celebrate such a beautiful life. Aunt Jean was somebody I loved being around. Her contagious smile and kindness would always give me such a lift!
And what a remarkable and beautiful family she raised. I think of her often and want you to know that my prayers and thoughts are with you as you celebrate her life.

I was sorry to hear about Jean's passing. I very much enjoyed having her as a patient. She had such a sense of humor. She will be missed. Such a gem.
