Dear Raeola and fammily,
Please accept my sympathies and love in the passing of Bert. We were great buddies as little tykes in Mesa then had a fine association as teenagers in Mesa just before you were married. Unfortunately, our getting together since has been quite sparse as you all lived in Winslow and I remained in Mesa. But, my love for Bert and you has never waned over the years. May you be comforted by His sweet Spirit in this time of great loss.
