Dear Jeannie,

First, Congratulations! on your upcoming graduation from ASU. Now, I ask for your sympathy as I grapple with my dilemma of trying to find words to express my love and admiration for, and my awe and wonder at, one of the the most charming, personable, talented and down-to-earth ladies anyone would ever want to meet.

It is such a delight to observe your charming demeanor as you meet and interact with people in any kind of setting -- your captivating smile, the warm embrace you always have for people.

Such an enviable sight it is, also, to see you and Bob walking hand in hand like the two lovers you indisputably are.

And to be graduating from college in your "mid 80s" is an awesome and enviable accomplishment.

No set of siblings is more fortunate than "the Graetz Kids" to have you to call Mom, and no husband is more fortunate than Bob to have you to call "the love of my life" and to have you at his side for strength and support in his ministry all these years.

You are most wonderfully blessed to be the matriarch of such a wonderful family, and your family is equally wonderfully blessed to have you as its matriarch.

May God's richest blessings always shower you.

As a loving brother,
