For Annie, Susie, and Nina,

I am deeply sorrowed by your loss. I have many fond memories of Marianne from when I was a part of your family. Her innocent smile, her determination to better herself. But I will always be most grateful for the opportunities she gave me, even though I was not mature enough at the time to properly manage them. I would also like to express my condolences after learning of the recent death of Matt. My heart is filled with sympathy for all in your present family who suffers this loss. Please know that both will be missed greatly by many who love them.

Susie and Annie -- you and your family are featured in some of my earliest memories, having lived across the street from you on Elm Street in the early '50s. The last time I saw your mother was years later, around the pool at your later home. It was a birthday of Susie's (or Annie's), before your Dad passed away. Your mother was so happy and beautiful -she and your dad looked like movie stars to me then.

We just recently lost my father, who had been a good friend of your Dad's. I truly feel your sorrow at the passing of a parent and send my sincere condolences.
