Dear Rosalyn, I was very sorry to learn today of your mother's death. Although I never met your mother, Mrs. Reid was always cordial to me when we spoke on the office telephone and I thought very highly of her. I know you will miss her. There's no one like "Mother" in this world. I send my sincere sympathy to you, Dominique, and all your family.
