Dear Tom and Jim,
My husband and I are in MI at our summer place, and I saw in the on-line edition of the Journal Star of the death of your mother. She was a lovely lady, and when I last saw her at the visitation for Dick Dunn's mother a few years back, I noticed that your mother had remained a very beautiful lady through all the many years. I extend my sincerest sympathies to you both.
