Uncle Jake and Family,
There are not any correct words that can be said to understand the reason the uncertainties in life happen. Aunt Marylou was a pillar of family strength. There are so many great memories we all had with her at family gatherings and on the farm when we were younger for visits. I hope in all the uncertainty, your family can find peace in what can be understood. My love and prayers are with you. Kendra Stuke
