Dear Joanie and Dudley and Amy. I am grateful for the fond memories of you, your parents and grand-parents that include SFX and Woodlands and JFK's Chicago's campaign speech in 1960. Your family was always generous and kind to me. I thank you for that and am so sorry for your loss. You remain in my prayers and thoughts. Many blessings to you.
