Dear Jack and Family,
We are so sad to hear about Ellen. The news leaves us with a heavy heart.  We have so many fond memories together our Saturday night dinners after mass were highlighted by your sense of humor.  Ellen would always grin and her eyes would sparkle, showing how much she adored you. Ellen always beamed when sharing stories about your children and grandchildren.  We were saddened when you left St. Louis, but knew that your family was your top priority.  Christmas time correspondence told us how happy you both were to be with family.  Our prayers go out to you and your family. With Love, The Venneman's Jerry,Barbara,& Colleen
