Dear Marian:

Please accept our condolences on the passing of Jerry. It was always a pleasure to encounter Jerry and you during your daily walks, as well as seeing you and him working together decorating your house for the various holidays (your beautiful creative designs and his carrying them out so perfectly for you). We will miss Jerry's wonderful smile and his friendly greeting whenever we saw him. We hope all the wonderful memories you and Jerry created during the 57 years of your marriage will help ease the pain of his passing. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
