Gerry, I just heard the sad news about Jane today. I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a great and very fun person to know. My prayers are with you and your family.

Gerry and family: both Ron and Tom notified me immediately of Janie's passing. Be assured that you are in my prayers each morning. I can't imagine how it must feel to lose your wonderful wife and Mom, but I know y'all are close and really need to support one another at this time. And, Gerry, you've got a really great core group of friends from CMS that are there for you, too. I wish I could be there at this time, too. Rely on God; He has His plan for all of us and I know it doesn't seem quite fair at this time that Janie has gone on before us, but He knows how we feel and understands our sorrows. Hope to see you soon, Russ
