    Please accept my deepest condolences. I have nothing but fond memories of Mrs. Jewett, who was always patient and kind all the numerous times I asked ‘Can Jimmy come out and play?’ She was welcoming, warm, and humored Jim and I as we made our way as friends through boyhood to adulthood. May she find eternal peace. Phil Gerwitz Albany, NY

    To William, Vicky, and James: Sorry to hear about the loss of Barb. I knew her for many years, and it was always a pleasure to see her. She would always talk about her paintings, her dog, and old acquaintances that she knew from my traveling about with my deliveries. She was upbeat, positive, and always had a kind word to say. She will be missed.
