Oh girls, I am so sorry to hear about your dear
father, Floyd. He was such a lovely, smart and reasonable man. In my mind, I can hardly separate him from Jane. Their love was palpable. I remember the way they utterly adored each other, and some of the extravagant gifts he gave Jane when we were working on the film. How she would show us her new ring, and her eyes would twinkle as she talked about Floyd, like a schoolgirl. And yet, he was so understated and refined in his bearing. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Rachel, Amy and Ann,

Sending love your way. Your dad was such a special man and I know how much you all loved him. Whenever I had the good fortune to interact with him, he always was so kind and made you feel so welcomed. I know he cherished you all dearly. And so lovely that Fern and Gabe were able to know and love him too. He will live on through all of you. Take good care of each other. Again, sending love to all of you.

Dear Amy, Rachel, and Ann,
I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. I know how close you were. He, along with your mom, raised three amazing daughters and now his grandchildren, Fern and Gabe. You had such a harmonious, loving, joyful family. My thoughts are with you always.
Love,
Wendy Tayer
