Walter, Cynthia, Walt Jr., Eddie and Raymond,

Steve and I just wanted to extend our deepest sympathies and sadness upon learning of the death of your dear mother and our dear, dear neighbor. I am so sorry we were not able to be in town for the funeral as we had a trip planned during the time of the funeral. Please know that we are both thinking of you all and you are in our thoughts and prayers. She was the sweetest and kindest of souls and I'm sure will be sorely missed by all. God Bless you all and give you peace.

Sorry to hear of you mom's passing. I remember coming into the store with my mom (Irene Harak) and they would just talk with each other and laugh. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
