Edith,
Jean and I send our love and prayers on the passing of David. I am so glad we had a chance to sit together and watch the 4th of July Parade a few months ago. David's smile, voice, and kind heart will be missed by all he came in contact with over the years.

Mrs. Benjamin,

I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

It has been close to 30 years since I made the "long walk" from my house on Elgin street, up your driveway with my sled in tow. Some of my fondest memories from my childhood were the long winter days spent playing in your yard. You and Mr. Benjamin were always so kind to all of the Seaver Street kids.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
