Dick, Margaret and Christopher,
Please accept my deepest sympathies in the loss of your wife and mother. Malinda was a good lady and I recall as a young boy her visiting us at our home in North Aurora on many occasions as she and my sister, Marcia, were close friends. May all the pleasant memories you have of Malinda sustain you during this time of sorrow and know that the thoughts and prayers of many are with your family.

Blessings!
