Letters To Janette From The Berchtolds

Dear Janette, 

I wanted to write you a love letter from the Berchtolds!! We are sending you all our love and support. We wish we could be there to help you out, to visit with you, and to have Conner and Brayden come over and play. But we just live to darn far away. I treasure the time that I had to get to know my sister-in-law better. I have not lived near family for a very long time so when you started dating Marc, you were just a name and a picture to me. I was very much hoping that you would wait for him while he went on his mission, because from what I heard, he was head over heels in love with you. You are his dream come true! I wasn't able to be there at your wedding (which I was very bummed about) but I was so happy for the both of you. When I heard that there was a chance that you and Marc would be moving to Alabama, I was so hopeful. Then when Marc called me and told me, I started crying, right in the middle of a store. I was so excited to have family close by. I loved our weekly Sunday dinners. You are a fabulous cook!! My favorite standouts were your Mexican Lasagne and your Chicken Pot Pie. Oh, and your desserts were divine! I loved taking our boys to the Library for gymnastics and to the McWane center to let them run!! Easter Egg Hunts! Trunk-or-Treats! We did it all and I am so grateful for that time. Who knows where our family will end up now, but you are always welcome to visit and crash at our house. I am excited to be coming out in the summer. Then we will get to see you guys again! We all pray for you every day. We pray for your comfort and a feeling of peace. And of course for healing! You are so strong and such an inspiration to all of us. This time will fly by and soon just be a memory. You are doing such a great job of doing exactly what you need to do to get better. We love you with all our hearts. We will see you soon. 

Love, 

Tom, Julie, Miranda, Jentry, Tate and Riley!!
