Sympathies’ to Jane’s family. We golfed and played cards together for years. I remember the last time we played cards at Jane’s house, we had lots of laughs. Her health hinder our get together. Recently she was on the mend. We had just talked the week before about getting together and then I heard the news of her passing. So sorry for your loss.
