To Bob and Bill
My wife, Ruth and I wish to extend our condolences on the passing of your mother. One hundred is quite an accomplishment. Hope you both do at least as well.

Dear Bill And Bob,
With smypathy and prayers for your family. We have known both your parents for many years. My first meeting them was at Ryan's pontiac and later at Peace Dale Congregational Church. She always had a kind work and a smile every Sunday morning.
