Dear Karla, Diane, and other family members of Jeanette Reuter, I am so sorry for your loss but glad I got to know Jeanette as a friend. Randy and I both appreciate that you included us in her 80th birthday celebration and were happy to be able to attend. Your mom/grandmother was always very kind to our son, John. She had an idea of what that was like due to her experiences with Brian. Tomorrow I have to take my dad to a dr. appt. in Winona MN and take care of things for my parents. I'm sorry we won't be able to attend the wake or funeral. Jeanette was a good woman. I hope you will gain some comfort from the prayers, thoughts, and presence of others. You know how hard it is to lose a close family member. You have our sincere sympathy. Marge and Randy Karsten
