Dear Jane,
Please accept my condolences upon the loss of your father. I fondly remember our days at Mary Munford as best friends. I have many great memories of your mother. I remember your Dad coming to school to tell us about the transportation industry. I hope that you are doing well and will be comforted by many happy memories of two great parents.

Jane; it goes without saying that your father was one of the most unique men ever and I will so miss my monthly visits with him. He was truly an inspiring man and how I will treasure the memories.

Jane -- I did not have the pleasure of knowing your father but have many memories of our times together. It does not matter how old we are, it is difficult to become an orphan. My thoughts are with you. I hope that our paths will cross again. Deigh [Hopewell, VA]
