Jean... My sincere sympathy and condolences to you and your family. I never knew your husband but he had to be an okay guy to be your choice. I will be in contact with you directly but wanted to send an expression. Sorry I let the days go by without a word to you. My sister-in-law told me last Thursday. I send best regards and deepest caring to you.

When you are in Montgomery visiting your sister or cousin, please - please, look me up.
