Dan and Nancy --

It's so sad to lose a dear friend and companion. Your tribute to Miss DD
was so loving. I wish you well and know that you will always have fond
memories of your furry friend.

Even after two years, I sometimes expect to see Siggy waiting for me to go
out and bring in the morning papers. It's tough.
