I am happy I got to know Jeanne. She was a lovely neighbor and a lively raconteur. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed.

We were sorry to read of your mother's passing and just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you. Joe and I have many fond memories of conversations with your parents in the days when they were always there to watch "the Bernhardt boys" on Lewis Bay. Zabelle and Joe D'Amico
