My deepest condolences for your family.
Having lost such a staple in your lives is very difficult. Hold each other a bit tighter during this time. Family is so important, and being good friends with Marcel, I know how close you all are and how much time you have shared, pool parties, cookouts, birthday celebrations and the holidays are very special to you all. Jeannie will always be with you in your heart.

I was deeply saddened to hear of your beloved Mary's passing.
I had the pleasure of teaching with her at the Channing when she first started out. Mary was always kind and generous to all.
