Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Our parents were friends and my brother, Larry, and Alan were just a few days apart in age. Nina and I are the same age and played together. I am so sorry for the loss you are going through. My parents (Lyle and Myrna) wanted Jean to know how much they are thinking of her. I'm sorry we weren't able to come to services.
