Gregg and Janet,
It was with great sorrow to learn of your Mom's passing.
I think of the long friendships our families have had going back to Westbury and I will miss Lorraine and the way she called me Rick-Rack.
With prayers,

She was fun to be with and vivacious in all she did.It was great getting to know your family once again these past few years. Both Whit & Lorraine were best of friends to M&D. All are & will be missed.

Janet, I was Kate Munt's next door neighbor and often enjoyed the company of your parents. Your daughter Rebecca spent time at the pool at the country club with my step daughter, Kristi. I last saw your mother just after she moved to Cedarfields. It was then I learned of your father's death. I have the greatest respect and affection for your parents. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts.
