To Alonzo and family,
I send condolences to you all. Your mother was a warm and lovely lady. I first got to know her at the Plainfield Senior Service Center and she told me her son was an artist. Later, I got to meet you and admire your work.
I think of your mother most often as the lady in the painting you donated to the center...but not sure now if that was a picture of her. Wasn't it her mother in who's face one saw her daughter, your mother.

I know you will cherish her memory and that will bring you all comfort.

Sincerely,

Patty Bender
