Dear Ann,
We are sorry to learn of Joe's passing. We will always remember talking with you and Joe prior to our decision to go to Vietnam and bring back two baby boys. Your support and willingness to share your experiences was helpful to us and we will forever appreciate you and Joe for that.
With sympathy,
