Debbie, Janie and Jennifer:
I was saddened to hear the news about your mother, but now she is with your Dad and at peace. She was an incredible person and gave so much to me and helped me in so many ways when I was a young man. I have total recall of the many afternoons at your house playing tennis and having lunch with your Mom after I mowed the yard. She was a gifted teacher and taught me many things in those conversations. Miss you all and have you all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
