Dear Liz, John, Julie, Edmund, Stephen, and Regina,
I was so sorry to hear about your dear mother, Jean. When I was your father's assistant, she guided me through the complex world that is Chicago society and politics, and under her tutelage I learned a great deal. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. She and your father will be in my prayers.
