Mr. Ed, I wanted to write you a note but did not have your address. We send our sympathy in Vera's death; she was such a wonderful person and I'll always remember how much my mom, Jo Henley, loved her.

Dear Ed and family, I was so saddened by the loss of Mrs. Vera. I feel in love with her during my years at church and also having her as a patient in the dental practice where I worked. She and Ed were like an extended family of mine. She always had such a beautiful smile and I will miss her very much.
