We wish to extend our most sincere condolences to Sue and daughters Lindsey and Lauren, to Jeff's parents and his sister and to my cousin Sue and her entire Shaw family. We used to occasionally get together with Sue and Jeff when my husband and I had a home in Bradenton, Florida. The girls were very little at that time. That was many years ago when we visited their beautiful home on Anna Maria Island. Even though Jeff's remarkable career took them to do many interesting cities, I felt like Anna Maria Island was always extra special to them. Hopefully that special place will bring Sue and the girls comfort and healing at this sad time.
Our thoughts are with you,
Jo and David Snyder
