Dear Children,Grandchildren, and Great-Grandchildren of JAN,
Mother and I send our prayers and hugs to you on the loss of your father, grandpa, and great-grandpa. Know that we are unable to attend the Memorial service due to a retina appointment for my mother (Sophie Lorent), but we did remember him in our Mass and Communion today (7-4-2010) and always kept him in our daily prayers. Although you lost your dad etc., know that he was always respected by Walter, Sophie, Tom, and Chris Lorent. Walter worked with Jan at Republic and talked about his coffee shop in the mill. We remember the good times shared not only with your dad but with your mom, too. May God keep them close to His Sacred Heart. Love and sympathy at this time of loss. Christine and Sophie Lorent [email protected]
