Dearest Anne,
Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences on the death of your spouse. I only met Harry one time at yur house for dinner but he left a lasting impression with me. He was a very charming man and made me feel right at home. I wish I could have had a chance to know him better I think we could have been good friends. He will be missed I am sure by all who knew him.
