Tom,
I was so sorry to hear about Emma Jean. I hadn't seen her in several years and one day recently I went to the beauty shop and she was there. We had a nice conversation.
Thinking of you and your family.

Dear Kevin,
I was sorry to hear about Emma! You know she was my favorite neighbor on D St. I thought of her often and cherish the great memories I have of her! I loved going to Emma's house. If mom and dad didn't know where i was, chances were I was at Emma's!
