Mr. Christiansen and family,

My deepest sympathy to all of you. My friendship with Vonnie was back about 30 years ago when I was little Andy's babysitter(the one bit by Ginger). Vonnie has always been a part of my childhood memories growing up on Monterey and my only regret is not making it back to say hello.

My prayers are with you!
