Dear Jane: Cindy and I were saddened to learn of the passing of your dear Gerry on November 28th. I know how much you two loved each other, so I can imagine how especially difficult losing him must feel. The years with someone are never enough for those who loved a person.

Jane, I was also a member of the SJP Class of '59 and a good friend of Gerry's. My wife, Sabina, and I enjoyed many social activities with Gerry and his family in both Philly and Ocean City.
