Henry forgive me for not being in Boston at this time. I'm in Atlanta trying to escape severe cold weather for health reasons. It's cold here as well but not like home. I will be home In April. I consider the Workman's family apart of ours. So she will be missed and one of my mother's oldest friend. Love you all and hang in there. It does get better.

So sorry for your lost. She was like a mother to my brother Ernest & I.

Henry. words don't carry much weight at times like this, but know that you're in my thoughts. Remember her as a mother and also as one whose passing leaves this world a little sadder. As time passes, all the good memories will keep her in people's hearts, and what better could anyone ask for.
