Dearest John,

You were such a loving and devoted son. May the Lord give you comfort and peace during this very difficult time.

My sympathies to the Wilson family. I saw Lorna mainly when she came to the midwest for a visit, and she always struck me as a kind, down-to-earth lady. Treasure your many good memories, and may her qualities remain alive and well in her descendants. Lorna was my aunt - my mother is Betty, her younger sister.
