Dear Bridgitte,
Most heartfelt condolence on the loss
of your dear Mother. Though I did not
get to know her well I will always re-
member her. She never had a complaint
about anything during the drives we went on to-gether. She certainly inspired me
and I will always appreciate her. I will think of you and her often.

Best wishes,
Dick, C.C.S. Driver
