To My friends of Queen City Figure Skating Club (my other family):

    The love and support of the club has been overwhelming, not only during my husband Fritz's illness, but through my most difficult time of losing him.

    So many of you helped with my club duties, expressed your thoughts and prayers personally and through beautiful cards, and came to share the visitation and funeral mass.  Unless you've had a loss, you might not know how much this caring and concern means.  It helped me greatly.

     I thank all of you for this wonderful tribute not only to me, but to Fritz, who always supported and gave his blessing to all my involvement with our club and our beautiful sport -- he loved it too.

     Most of you never met him, but he was always there with me in spirit and I think he always will be.

    Thank you also for the unique basket of many plants, as they grow they will always be a reminder of all of you, my wonderful friends. My family thanks you also for your support.

Sincerely,

Lois Riedinger
