Dearest Polly:
Alan and I do not know how to put into words how sorry we are to learn about Jay's passing. Our hearts and prayers are with you and all of the family during this time of sorrow and healing. Since we live so far away, I always hoped that we would spend time with you two and get to know Jay, remembering all the wonderful times we had together when you were in Louisiana. We have missed you so much. You are a strong, resilient woman and I know that you, your family, and Jay's family will weather this together. we wish we could be there with you and please know that we are with you in heart, mind, and spirit. Please accept our condolences and deepest sympathy for your loss. Like so many others, we want to do something for you and it is so hard to know what to do. If there is something we can do, please please let us know.
We love you, Polly,
Alan & Emilie
