Aunt Karen,
We are so sorry for the passing of Uncle Jere but we know how long and challenging his illnesses have been.
He was very fortunate to have you as his longtime partner and caregiver.  We are so appreciative of all you have endured and hope that now you both will have peace.  We remember with fondness many gatherings at our house on holidays, summer cookouts and our visits to your home.  Reminiscing and laughing together.
Please know that we are here for you and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Linda and Larry Conley
