Not sure what to say?

To Joy ,Peter, John and Diane and the rest of your family....Jeffrey and I are so sad to read about Julie. I'm sure anyone who knows her or just met her will miss the bright light that she brought to the world. We were lucky enough to rent the first floor of their house in Hartford for 5 years right after we got married. John and Julie welcomed us with a wedding gift and then countless other gifts of their company and friendship. We never wanted to leave and not because they refused to raise...

Our sincere sympathies for your loss.
