Dear June. Ralph & I have so many fond memories of Irvin of which some of them I cannot put in print. A few of them for us to share. Ralph & Irvin's driving days with Valsing going to CA. On there way back one trip there was a big storm starting in CN so they changed drivers as Irvin was the more experienced driver, Ralph kicked Irvin's boots out of the truck. They discovered that when they stopped at Dysarts in Bangor. Was Irvin ever upset with Ralph but than they both laughed the rest of the trip. Than I use to take care of his books when he had the paving business. He would bring in all his receipts at the end of the week in a paper bag. I would spend a few hours sorting and pressing them out before I could do the books. Also, your wedding day was a wounderful day for all of us to be able to share. You were the best thing that ever happend to Irvin. Please take care.

Dear June - This is an old Indian prayer - I hope you like it.

If I should go tomorrow,
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.

The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.

You and Irvin's family are in my thoughts and prayers.
