Francesca - Just heard the news about Jon and I can't imagine how devastated you must be as I know Jon and you were one of the few couples today that were so in love. I hope to make it to the service and pay my respects in person. Know that my thoughts are with you. I so enjoyed each year on my birthday when you and Jon would help me celebrate my annual 40th. I have the fondest of memories of Jon - what a wonderful person he was - he will be missed!
