Dear Loved Ones,

Was so sorry to hear about Hodge.  He was a truly kind man.  He always made me feel that I was a person worth listening to, and being a friend to.  I don't remember his ever putting anyone down.  Though I didn't see him often, he was a constant in my life.

I was extremely sorry to hear of his passing.  My condolences to you Janet, and to your children.  He will be sorely missed.

Love to you.
Jackie
