Dearest Ann,
You are in our thoughts and we send our deepest sympathies.
We loved meeting Edward and had the nicest evening with the
two of you after you very graciously gave us the ability to attend
the Masters about 4 years ago.
His life sounds fascinating. What a wonderful time the two of
you had and the stories you told were so much fun to hear.
You are in our thoughts.
Sincerely,
Susan & John Madden
