Eddie,

I received your letter yesterday, I don't know how I missed this in the paper. I'm so saddened to hear about the loss of your Dad. I would have been there if I had known. I know what your feeling, since I lost my Dad just a short time ago. I will be in touch with you soon. Cindy in case you don't remember me, I used to work with Eddie at the State Cafeteria. We have remained friends since then, and Eddie knows my children Jillaine and John. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you at this most difficult time.

Love, Julie Spalding
