Dear Rabbett Family,
My sincere condolences to you all at the recent passing of Jim and Nancy. I have fond memories of both as well as your Mom and Dad. As seniors, Jim and I were always up for one or another caper. Nan and my sister, Donna also had such good times. I especially remember a Sunday afternoon when your father took us bowling. He was so kind and encouraging, even though I was a terrible bowler, leading only in gutter balls. I hope you will find comfort in your good memories of Jim & Nan. In deepest sympathy,
Sue Crane
