With Much Sadness

[JolyB]

It is with much sadness that I must tell you that Don Jones's wife Patty passed away yesterday after a long illness. Old time members of our group will remember her from the time we were at the Final Turn. She was one of the most active members of that group, always cheerful and helpful to new players and extremely knowledgeable about one of her favorite pasttimes.

I had the good fortune to spend a little time with Don and Patty at Saratoga a few years ago and recall the joy she exhibited while watching her beloved thoroughbreds perform at that historic racetrack. Don posted a photo of their group flashing their bankroll after Alpha made them winners for the day. Her smile was wonderful to behold.

Please join me in expressing our sympathy to Don on the loss of such a wonderful person.
