Dear Jean, 

Over the years our regular contacts and occasional visits when possible have become a normal part of my days.  Your passing has created a sense of loss for me.  There are some things in life that help to make it more meaningful and worth doing.  Our relationship was one of those things.  I can think of no visit or phone call that was not worth the effort.  In spite of the circumstances of our respective lives we always seemed to find the words we each needed to hear.  We always found the positive, something to laugh about or lament over as the case may be. 

I shall miss you but trust you are now in a better place.  

With love and respect

Jacqie
