Dear Shilo and Lisa,
It was very nice to spend a little time with you the other evening though sad to hear of Shirley's passing.
I very much enjoyed visiting with her in the yard and wish we'd had more time together.
Please know that Jim and I think of you often, feel free to call on us for anything.
With affection,
Jane and Jim
