Manfred, it has been many years since we attended Houghton together.

No words of mine or anyone can decrease the loss and the sorrow you feel, but you can rejoice in the good things you created together in the 53 years of marriage you shared--the loving home, the children, and all the rest. Peace be with you and your family. All will be well.

I am so saddened by the loss of Miss Marjean. Being a dear friend of Tonya's, I was able to to spend many moments with Marjean and not mention great dinners that were hosted by Marjean when visiting Los Angeles. She always kept us entertained and had so much love to give to everyone. She was a lovely lady and her spirit will be deeply missed.
