Barbara and family:
I am deeply saddened by the news of Jean’s passing. It was unfortunate under the circumstances of which I met her, but her whip-smart humor and stories of your family was enough to make me forget why I was conversing with her to begin with. She will be missed. Please take care and my thoughts are with you and the entire family.
