Hedy, I still think about you and the sweet, kind person you were. We had some really great times together. You would be happy to know that Ron has been a mentor to my Jason. He remembers you too and the Easter egg hunts on divot court. Remembering you today with fondness. Jan

Hedy was one of the classiest women I ever knew. She was beautiful, dignified and always kind. I have many fond memories of her and Rocco living life to the fullest. Jan English Machen
