Earl JantziKendall was a very special lady. We met on Match.com, and when we met at Adrian's in Burlington she wanted to hear my story about being on Match. After hearing my story, "She told me "you are in love with that woman already, and that we should be friends and hang out till she makes up her mind", so we did. She treated me like family, and when the "other woman decided to visit me in IL, the first place I took her was to meet Kendall. Kendall approved of my choice, and we all became good friends. It didn't hurt that we both loved big dogs. She used to bring Kane down to my 6 acres so he could play chase with my Doberman Ben. They had a ball. Kendall introduced us to "marbles" and I produced a dozen game boards, and we still use them in our family. Kendall's picture still hangs on our family wall of pictures, and I love telling this story to anyone who sees our picture wall. She will be missed, but we will catch up to her when we move to the other side. Love, Earl and Mary Ellen Jantzi
