Jeb, Kathleen, Henry, Jennie Lou and all of family,
I was saddened to hear about Tony. My condolences go out to his children and grands. I have wonderful memories of your family and what good times we had growing up near each other! I didn’t realize that he and Jackie were just two days apart in age.
All of you are in my prayers.
