Dear Mrs. Ralske,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your beloved husband. Norm and I were work friends at the Worcester disability office and often exchanged stories and happenings regarding our families and our own histories. Norm was a truly wonderful man who always spoke lovingly about you, his children and their various and extensive accomplishments.
