Betty,
The years go by. My parents brought me (age 4 mo. on May 6, 1934) to see my baby cousin Jack (and the big boys - Charles and Jim). Later, I so admired him ice skating I bought a pair of speed skates - but you can't buy talent, which is what he had. Nancy joins me in prayer that God will be with you.

Dear Betty,
I'm so sorry to hear about Jack, we all have such fond memories of you and Jack that I really don't know where to start. You have been like family to us over the years and have been there to celebrate weddings, birthdays and are one of the few to invite all of the Houlihan's over for dinner, game nights, etc... You have also been there through the sad times and I hope you know that we are there for you.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love always,
Sue

Dear Betty
I send my regards on your loss. John and I worked together in the seventies in Oak Park. I always considered John a very good friend and now regret that we did not keep in touch. However, he was a dear friend. Please tell Jean Hiestand that Warren and Sandra say hello.
