Dear Irene and Family

My deepest sympathy on the death of your mother. She was a very nice woman and I remember her very well and also your father. I remember all of you attending the Portuguese church many years ago. My Aunts knew your family and we all knew the entire family when I was growing up in Cambridge. She lived a long life but it is still very hard to lose the ones we love. This death came so soon after Albano's nephew Gus passed away. I was sorry to hear of his death also.

Time will heal all of you but it does take a while. Again my deepest sympathy and I will remember her in my prayers.
