Don and Family,
I am Nancy Weed's friend, Jerre Pierce, and I am truly sorry for your loss. I'm pleased to see that in lieu of flowers, you have elected to have donations sent to The Humane Society of Atlantic County, wherein I have been a volunteer for several years. Your generousities will be well accepted and put to very good use. I'm happy, however, to find out that SKEETER is once again inside, where I'm sure he will miss his Mother, but will be able to console all of you, in his cat way. Take Care and God Bless.
