Dear J.D., Mark, and Kurt,

I was saddened to read of the death of your mother. My parents, Dr. John and Gerry Nickels, enjoyed the friendship of your parents so much. And I also enjoyed being with them when I returned to St. Pete to visit (they attended my wedding almost 31 years ago). They both were so full of life, and when I think of them, a hot air balloon comes to mind - is this a correct connection? Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this time.

Sincerely,
Debbie Nickels Torbush
