Dear Joyce,
Although we have not spoken in almost 50 years, I fondly remember Joe and you. I enjoyed the evenings spent at your home with Marshall. You were always the perfect hostess. I have lived in Tampa, FL for the last 45 years and just recently lost my own husband in March of this past year. I know how much you will miss Joe, but let the many years of wonderful memories be your comfort. I will pray for you and your family to have strength and peace as you travel this road of grief.
Fondly
