A Message From Kathy Jensen

Dear Steve,

My apologies that this thank you is so long overdue. It’s difficult to express the gratitude I feel toward you and the others (Scotty, Jeff, Mark, MJ, Al, et al), who took the time to share their memories and photos of Dale on the website rugbyconnect. The fact that it created a place for you and others to share fun times and kind words is truly appreciated. The stories took me, and I’m sure many others, back to more care free days. It’s hard to believe that I had been with Dale 25 and a half years before he passed away. I miss him so much. I miss his smile, his inspiration, and his love.

Thanks to all of you who were able to make it to the visitation. It was good to see you all. I hope to get together again soon under more pleasant circumstances.

As you may know, I lost my job of 17 1/2 years a few weeks before Dale passed (they needed to replace me with a registered nurse). Now that I have closed downthe car lot, and have passed the karate school over to Dale’s partner, I’m concentrating on remodeling my house. I hope to be able to sell and move to the LaCrosse area to be near family and friends before starting a new career.

Wish me luck! This will be a big change for me and the boys, who, at this point in their lives, understandably, don’t relish the thought of moving.

Thanks to you all for the friendship you shared with Dale and me. Like Dale, you are forever in my heart.

With Love, Kathy

P.S. I attached a few photos I thought you might enjoy.
