Solidarity


This is Aunt Julie.
She was our "other-mother" while Mark was in dental school.

She gave us food, supplies and the feeling of being watched over by a parent for 4 years.
Julie has four children and is the life of the party. She loves to have fun. She loves to entertain. She is always serving someone. She is accepting of everyone and always optimistic.
Last summer Julie married her perfect match -- Jack. Jack loves to have fun and he loves Julie. Julie waited a long time to meet her Jack and they were sealed in the temple last summer. We LOVE Jack because he is so good to Aunt Julie. This woman who has spent her life taking care of people has a partner who wants to take care of her.
Just before they were married, Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Julie and Jack kept it to themselves until after the honeymoon. Then they shared with the family the battle Julie had ahead of her. Stage 2. Six rounds of chemo - and radiation. She has been going through treatment for several months.
Julie lives about 17 hours away from us now. We wish we were closer so we could help take care of her the way she took care of us when we needed it. We sent her a greeting from the Jensen girls.
Aunt Julie - we love you!!!
Here's a Kiss!!!

GET WELL SOON!! We know you will.
