Dear Jack,



I am so glad that I had a chance to visit with you and Ann on that beautiful Saturday at your house.



If I can be of help in anyway, please let me know and I will be there for you.



You and Ann taught me how to fly fish, now it's my turn to return the favor!

My loving thoughts & prayers are with the entire family of Ann Milligan Gray who has been a lifetime friend of mine. Since age 3 years old, we have been East Texas girls with a joie de vivre. She is one of the Ya Ya Sisters & the first to die. We will miss her dreadfully.
