February 7, 2018
Pam, Val, Andrew, and your dear families, I’ve been spending time here tonight reading and looking at photos, and this all leaves me speechless, and also with a full heart of thanks for the wonderful times we all spent together, beginning so long ago in Rhode Island, when we were all very young. The memories, and their meaning, are far too deep and wide to be captured in any words, and the treasures of friendship these memories represent are deeper and wider still. Jill Simpson will be so sadly missed. Although she is gone from us for a time, the beauty she brought to all the lives she touched will continue to radiate, and until we meet again, this will bring continuing bright rays and reminders of the countless moments and ways in which she truly brightened the world, and this will help to keep us moving forward. Love you all.
