Our families have been linked in friendship since Jug's parents, Walter and Lola Megaw, met Cortlen and Elizabeth Cole, my grandparents. Jay and Jug and my dad, Karl Rannells, have now joined them in eternity, leaving only my mother, Dorothy Cole Rannells McCormick, to represent that second generation of friends. Although I have not seen George and Stuart since we were all very young, I still think of the Megaws with great affection and extend my sympathy and prayers on behalf of my family

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I have memories of him standing in his backyard playing with his bulldog (40+ years ago). May you reflect during this difficult time on your fondest memories.
