I did not know about Bebe's death until I read Mary Haupt's column the other day. Bebe and I played tennis in the same league for many years and I always considered her a wonderful person, someone to model my life after. My sincere sympathy to you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Stuart, John and Rob and Eric. Bebe, was my mother in law while I was married to John, and over the years, we have always remained friends meeting in Albany, when Eric would go see her for a week. I am going to miss her alot.
