To the Wood family,

My condolences to you all on the passing of your dear Mom. Your parents were the best neighbors anyone could have. They were the kindest people, with very generous hearts. (Bruce, I will aways remember you graciously driving the neighborhood girls to school in the morning.)

With much affection,

Debbie Short

To Shirley...

Hey Good Buddy, My deepest sympathy to you and Denis and the girls in your time of sorrow. I am so sorry I could not be there for support, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. The airfares were great, but the weather did not appear to be cooperating. I didn't want to drag Mom into the predicted snow showers, and I could never get to Chicago without her. Love, JJ
