Katie and Jay have my deepest sympathy. I knew their Mother, Jill, and their Father, Ed, as dear and wonderful friends and as outstanding persons. I am certain that their spirits will attend Katie and Jay all of their lives because the Lord gives love and comfort, and will give that love and comfort to them. I also know that I miss them terribly.

Dear Jay and Kate,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear mother. Memories keep those we love close to us forever. My son Billy loved your mother's cooking. He'd say to me, "Gee Mom, I wish you could cook as good as Mrs. Gunn. She's the best." He enjoyed going over there for dinner and hanging out with your mom and Jay. If there is anything me or my family can do for you and Jay, no matter how big or how small, please do not hesitate to let me know. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
