Jane and Mary Ellen,
Susan and I are very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a great wealth of information in genealogy. I will sorely miss the many conversations with Jean about our ancestors. Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the funeral. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God always be with you.
