Dear Mr. Petrowsky, Patty, Steven, Jeff, Kathy and Michael.
Please accept my sympathy on the death of Mrs. Petrowski. I have many fond memories of playing at your house and enjoyed talking with her at Virginia and Bill's anniversary party and later at Bill's wake. In our extended village of Maple Avenue she was another mother to the gang of kids!
