Dear Source,
For lack of a better way, I wanted to express sincere condolences to Judy Grybowski on the passing of her life companion and husband extraordinaire. Such a loss can never be replaced, and yet, your VI family hope that our feeble efforts will touch that dark lonely place that loss occupies.

Sincerely,
