Jim, my deepest and heartfelt sympathies and condolences to you and your family. As you know, my connection to you and Renee goes back nearly 50 years...a long time and a long chain of great times and memories. Although the paths of our lives have kept us from getting together recently, our friendship bond remains unbreakable. Our recent phone conversation was a difficult one, but confirms what I have always known: you are a solid man, one of the finest I will ever know, and you were married to an amazing, unique woman who will be missed beyond measure. Renee's bright eyes, brilliant smile and unconditional kindness can never be forgotten. Your beautiful family is a testimonial to your beautiful marriage. I am so sorry for your loss.
