Roy,
I was looking up your address to send you and Ellen an announcement of our daughter's high school graduation here in Texas. I saw the obituary for Ellen and was devastated. I thought you two were permanent, and we would never lose either of you. I am so sorry we did not know before now, and that we have not stayed in closer communication. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Roy, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have thought of you both and prayed often as we were so impressed with you both during our weekend sponsored by Johns Hopkins.
Blessings to you - we will be with you in spirit on Monday. John & Julie Jenney
