I am so sad that I am not in NY to see you all at this time. I have many memories of Helen - the hospital and family affairs. She was a great, strong lady and I know she will be sorely missed by all of you.
Love and sympathy to all of you.
love, Nancy

Though we only knew Mrs. Messerschmitt as a casual acquantaince and as the mother and grandmother of some dear friends from church, we wanted to offer our deepest sympathy to her husband and her children. We know she will be missed but her children and grandchildren remain here on earth as a living testament to her kind soul.
