We extend our sympathy to Mrs. Thornburg and family. We will miss seeing Mr. and Mrs. Thornburgh together lifting off from the dock on their pontoon boat taking a cruise around Round Lake.

Dear Phyllis, Jeff, Susie and Jane, It is with a heavy and loving heart that I express my sorrow on Jay's death. Phyllis, you and Jay are the BEST neighbors and friends my parents could have ever asked for!! I value the few occassions we got together at the lake and talked of those "good 'ol days" with my brother Jim. I only regret that didn't happen more often. We would like to get together with you either at the lake this summer or if you'll be at Anna Marie Island at Jeff's this winter, I'd drive over from here (Ft. Myers Beach) to give you a big hug. I only wish God's "Special Blessings" on each of you as you grieve on the loss of a wonderful husband and father. No doubt he'll be missed. I know the memories you have will constantly put smiles on your faces as time goes. I will pray for you Phyllis, that your health enables you to continue enjoying your children and grandchildren and their accomplishments. Thank you, Jeff, for the beautiful Christmas card of your beautiful family. With God's Blessings, Sistie (and Ron too)

The last time I saw Jay was at the University of Toledos homecoming game. It was also my class 50th reunion. Joe Hinds and I drove from Sarasota to be there. Its always tough to lose a old friend and fraternity brother. God bless. Al Donnelly
