Dear Marge and children,



I am sorry to hear about Ed. I remember your family very well from the days on 84th Street. I admired your family a lot. I would go to visit the Stegmillers next door and I thought it was "neat" that Di babysat for grandchildren of Catherine Andres, my grandmother's best friend. I know that you will miss Ed greatly. I will keep you all in my prayers.



Sincerely,

(Fran and Jack Kelly's daughter)
