My sympathy is extended to you and your family in the loss of your loved one. I'm sorry I could not make it to the funeral as I was out of town. I didn't get back in town until late Friday afternoon. Gary had called me and left me a message on my answering machine. I'll be talking to you soon--with Love Jeanette, your neighbor.
