  5. Dear members of the "Jack" Feddema family, I believe I may be his first cousin if his mother's name was Jennie Krull Feddema. My father was Leonard Maynard Krull of Westborough, MA. Upon reading the death notice in the T&G Paper, I was saddened in heart. Please know my sisters and I grieve with you and yet, at the same time, celebrate with you his life as described in the obituary notice. May the Lord's Peace abide in and with you; and He never leave you comfortless. Earl joins me in sending Blessings,
    Cornelia "Connie" Hutt (Mrs. Earl) (Westborough, MA)
