Hi Jane, I saw Fritz’s death notice in the Racine paper and wanted to send my condolence. You may remember me by Jean Decker, we went to LPN school together. I have fond memories of you and remember you speaking so fondly of your husband, I am so sorry for your loss. Although I have lost track of you over the years, every time I look at our graduation picture my eyes go toward your image and I smile. Well wishes to you.Lots of love, Jean
