Dear Jeannie & family,
I have just learned of your loss of Hank. I would have been there today if I'd known. I remember back as far as my 16 th birthday, sharing memories of our families together. All the old open show days on to the Congress. Hank was always there smiling and adding humor. He was a wonderful person and I know he will be missed tremendously. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.

Jeannie, I do not know if you will recall meeting me this past December at Dr. Menon's home, but I was there with my sister, Julie, partaking in the "going away party". You were there with your wonderful husband, Hank. I am one of the nurses that was fortunate to have worked with Hank while he was a member of the cardiac rehab program at Highland Park Hospital. I want you to know that it was an absolute pleasure caring for him. What a delightful person he was. I truly looked forward to his smiling face and big bear hugs. I will miss him, but am so happy I had one last opportunity to visit with him and you @ Dr. Menon's. He was in his typical jovial spirit that last time as were you. This is how I will always remember him. Of course he will be greatly missed, by one and all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. Georgeana
