Dear Mr. Riley: Please accept my condolences on the passing of your wife, Anne. I grew up two doors down from the Gignilliats. I remember Anne's beautiful red hair, pretty eyes and skin. She was my sister's age, but I remember her very well. Jack and Jean Gignilliat's daughter. I know it will be a loss to your family, but your faith will help you through those difficult hours and days. With deepest sympathy.
