Dear Jan, Lisa and Frank,
Jill and I would like to send our condolences to you and your families over the loss of your mother, Harriet. I am sure you are all very sad and we share your sadness.
Your mother was a terrific person, full of wit, charm and grace.
I remember the BBQs we had during Dove season and the fun we all had with your mom and dad.
They are great memories and will always stay with us.
Again, we are very sorry for your loss.
Best,
Fred and Jill

Dear Jan and Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I have so many memories of her both at Ragamuffin and as my mother in law's roomie at English Oaks. She was quite a character and always so much fun. You girls were very good to her and took great care of her. My sincerest condolences at this sad time.
