I appreciate all your help. My divorce would not have gone nearly as smoothly without you and your calm demeanor and your common sense. Thanks for keeping me in check when I felt like jumping in with both feet. Glad to have it over with.
John, I’d like to thank you for all your efficiency and responsiveness, not to mention your sense of humor, throughout both of our go-rounds this year. Selling our condo wasn’t an easy thing to do, and you helped us get everything done as smoothly as possible. The small glitch involving the improperly recorded release was one more reason to be glad we had a good attorney on our side. You will certainly be the first person we call when anything legal arises. I hope the rest of your summer goes well. Which reminds me-don’t be surprised if you get a call from one of us about visiting for a day of sailing. With the hot days of August, I can’t think of a better place to be. Until then-
What a wonderful note you wrote along with the copy of the deed you sent. I do want to thank you for all the help, support, advice, and encouragement you have given me in the past in matters not only relating to the Trust. It is nice to have such a special friend, and unfortunately for you, I am sure I will continue to seek your “wisely” advice in other issues in my life. Not just professional and legal advice, but definitely the old “Open your eyes and wake up” advice that will be needed occasionally. This is by far not a goodbye letter to you, but a testament (lucky for you) that I will haunt you periodically for the rest of your life. Good luck with your practice. Please thank your father for me, and I promise to be in touch.
