Dear Al and family,

Wally and I were so sad to hear about the passing of Joyce. I have often thought about you both and wandered if you were still in Southern Illinois.

I see that David is close by and I am sure that made the last few years even that more precious. especially having had grandchildren.

Take care of yourself and your family and know that our thoughts are with you at this time.

Sincerely,

Barbara, your old neighbor at l332 Oakmont, across the street
