Johnny,

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your entire family on the loss of your Mother. I had the pleasure of knowing her and was quick to realize what a wonderful lady she was. She will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to known her.

My deepest sympathies to both Studie and John, and to their families, on their loss. Both Mr. and Mrs. Burkholder were dear friends and neighbors to my family, and her passing will be felt all the more. I will always hold fond memories of both your Mother and Father.
