Dear Dede and Susan,
I would like to extend my sincere condolences and sorrow in the news that Jonny has died. I wanted to let you both know that Jonny was one of the people I truly saw as leader in my life. I know it has been along time since we have all been together. But, when I think of your family; I remember how Jonny would talk like Jonny Cash, the big black truck and the lake house. He provided me with advice and understanding that I continue to use each day in business and with my family. I so am sorry. Your family is in my families prayers.
