Dear Plaat Family,
I am saddened to hear of your loss. It was a privilege to know the delightful Mrs. Plaat for so many years. I will surely miss her when I come to visit. Take comfort in knowing that she left this world knowing she was loved by so many. Her gift to this world is the beautiful family she left behind. My deepest sympathy goes out to every one of you.
