Dear Miss Lucy, So sorry to hear of the loss of your husband you two were truly a great couple. I can see the two of you now coming to the laundry to pick up your clothes. Even though I left the laundry so many people are still fresh in my mind and you and Mr. Forrest are one of them. Stay strong and remember God will take care of you Miss Lucy. Love Loretta your laundry girl.
