Dear Jay, Craig & Colin,
We are both very sad to have learned of your mom's passing. We always admired her and we know how proud she was of all of you.
We will always treasure the times we spent with the four of you when your parents went on vacation. It is hard to believe that Craig was only 8 months old the first time we went to stay with you. What great times we had.
Please stay in touch.
