Dear Ceal and Family:
My heart goes out to you & your family, I feel so bad that you have lost your husband, he was way too young to go. I would love to hear from you, I want to send you a sympathy card, but I don't have your current address. We still live at our same home, but our address has changed to 217 N. Branch-Obernburg Road, North Branch, NY 12766-5059.
I have such fond memories of you from us working together at the bank many years ago.
You are in my thoughts and may God give you the strength to get through this terrible time,
Love,
Lisa Mayenzet
