That was such a nice Service on Saturday ... I am very glad that I was able to attend and give Kristine my support. Even though I never met you Jan, I was given the gift of being able to talk to you over the phone a couple of time. You will be missed.

To The Bristow Family, I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's death. She was a dear friend to my father and mother, George and Ellen Hamilton of Lafayette. They enjoyed many bridge games and Naval Academy functions together! They may leave this life, but remain in our hearts forever. Fondly, Barbara Hamilton Morghen
