Dear Maggie,
It meant so much to my parents, Walt and Marie, to have you and Doc as their neighbors in the Park Forest co-ops. They still treasure your friendship and many happy memories.

I'm sure Doc has been visiting with my Mom, Mary "Antwo" Clark and they are playing 3 cent poker. I'm sorry I could not pay my respects in person as I don't want to give my cold to anyone.
God Bless you!
