My condolences to the family. She was a very nice lady. I remember way back in 1968 trying to talk with her in my high school Spanish, and I remember that whenever I telephoned for Jack and she answered the phone, I always asked, "Puedo hablar con Jacquin?" HA - such great memories! I'm sorry that I am unable to attend the services, but my thoughts are with you.
