Buddy,
My sincere condolence to you and your family. As grade school friends, I recall fondly when you and Irene met and how your partnership endured life's challenges. We were always impressed by Irenes candid, positive attitude. It is safe to say that you cannot get to this phase of our lives together without there being a very special bond that each of you brought to your relationship. You'll have a lifetime of fond memories to give you strength going forward. Your marriage was very blessed.
Although time and life have got in the way of maintaining the closeness we enjoyed in our youth, you and Irene have been in our thoughts often.
All the best to you and your family throughout this difficult time of sadness.
Hang in there pal,
Harold and Judy Jantzen
