Janice, I will always remember the kindness that you showed to my late husband, Jack Fitzgerald when he was very ill. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family in your time of grief. Toy was a fine man and was always very kind and nice to me at AT&T. May the memories of happy times with him bring you comfort as you grieve.
