Dear Dolores,
I had been wondering about our dear Mr. Bender. I am pleased he lasted to 100, but sorry to learn of his death.
Despite marrying you somewhat late in life, you had many happy years together. My condolences to you.

Dolores: I am very sorry to hear of Deses passing. Des and I severed on Ottawa City Council for a number of years. They were interesting days for sure.
