Dear Paul,
Please accept my sympathy at the passing of your mother. She is part of my childhood memories, going back sixty years. I remember going berry, apple, and grape picking in Jamestown with her and your father and Aunt Hilda and my parents. Those were the days! You and she and your dad will be remembered in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Lucia (Leonelli) Ricci
