I am heartbroken to hear of Jane's passing. Austin and Lauren, your Mom and I have been friends for 40 years. We worked together at CRA and shared in each other's joys and heartaches up until her illness. We lived in the same apartment building for years, and would run up and down to each other's apartments to watch TV, or to listen to Frank Sinatra, George Benson, Judy Garland and a host of others. We spent a lot of time giggling. Twice, we went to see the Jackson Five in concert. Even though your Mom was challenged with this devastating illness, I want you to know that she had a lot of happiness in her life too. Her greatest joy was the two of you. She will always own a piece of my heart. My deepest condolences to the both of you, to Philip, and to Jane's siblings. She is with her parents now.
