It's been many years, perhaps 60, since we've been together but my memory is locked in on the names of Jim, Jack, Jerry, Joe and Janelle. I thank your parents for giving you those names which have fondly rolled off my lips for so many years. I wish the best to all of you. Wish I could be there with your family but distance makes travel difficult. Lyle just called today with the new of Jerry's passing. May God continue to be with all of us. Your cousin, John
