Jack, Marie-Paule and I just wrote you to express our immense sorrow at Gloria's death and our sympathy for how terrible it must have been for both of you in recent years, as disease gradually stripped her of her luminous identity. Mindy, Shari, Robin--we shall always remember what a wonderful person she was, and we hope that your memories of a loving and delightful mother will help you through your pain.
