Connie:

I just wanted to let you know how sorry I was to hear of Edgar's passing. You and he were always so nice to me at the Elks. I will miss seeing him at the Kawaniis and seeing you both on Dan Dee Night. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know he is now in heaven and is not suffering any more. He will be able to play golf whenever he wants now.
