I write with heartfelt sympathy over the loss of Florence. I knew her well when she was an Assistant Attorney General and for some years afterward. She was an outstanding professional and wonderful person. I cannot imagine the loss that you feel. May God bless you in this troubling time.

Bud,

Offering words of comfort seem so little to give, you shared life with a wonderful women and I'm sure you will miss her terribly... but please don't spend too much time alone. You have a friend in me.
