Dear Johnston family,
I was sad to hear about your Dad. My mom had kept me up to date on you guys through her friendship with Dick. I liked hearing about you and knowing I had contact. I am glad your Dad is at peace and with your mom. There's a block party up there upon his arrival I am sure. Please know that I thought the world of your parents and treasured the memories of you and yours on Oakwood Place.
Love,
Julia
