I was sorry to learn of your Mother’s passing. I shared a very special boyhood time on Wabash Street with your brother Steve – you may recall that I attended the services for your Father. Again, I have many fond memories of your parents and Steve and wish to convey my most sincere condolences.

Dearest Rae and family- Well,we think this time will never come but it does. She and Jack had such a wonderful life together and two beautiful children. Just remember the great times and the fun you four had together growing up in old Sherwood. I will never forget her beautiful smile. What a lovely lady.
