Dear Enid;
So sorry for your loss. Hopefully, you will remember us from Diversey Harbor.We remember both of you and also Neal and Candy, particularly his spectacular proposal to her. We have been there since 1959 and still have a boat there today (Schur Thing V). We also remember visiting you and Allen in Key Largo. We are still in Key Largo today, in the Harborage,MM#. 97.5 and spend our winters there. Hope you are well, and again very sorry about your loss.

Dear Enid, Neal, Rhonda, Felicia, Mike and Family,
My heartfelt condolences to all of you on your husband, father, and uncle's death. Enid, you and your family are a part of our family's past. I have wonderful memories of you and Allen and your generosity and hospitality as I was growing up. I am so sorry for the pain in your life. Neal and Rhonda, although the years have passed, you are a part of my past and I remember our friendship fondly. Mike, the irony of your marriage into Felicia's family blended into my South Side history and memories.. May Allen's memory be a blessing for all of you.
Fondly,
Jay Smith
