Dear Vicki, My sympathies to you. As I well know losing a spouse after over 50 years together is not easy.
You may not remember me but we worked together shortly after you joined IBM. I well remember attending a birthday party for Jerry at your house. (40?, 50?)

Vicki, I have fond memories from the IBM days, decades of great emails from Jerry, to most recent times seeing you both again, enjoying our Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association's concerts and getting to schmooze with you again in person. My prayers and condolences for your loss and wish you some eventual peace that now surrounds Jerry.
