    Love and condolences to you all, Marianne Becky and Shawn. I am seeing Jack with his great sense of humor and his adorable smile and his kind way of being. Smiling with a public or private joke and those twinkling eyes.

    I will be there Thursday. Please let me know of anything to bring.
    Love!
