Mr. McGee,

I want to send my heart felt sympathies on the loss of your wife Essie. I was blessed to have her as one of my friends. Essie always brighten my day and she became more than a friend. It was my great pleasure working with her for 5 years at Dorcy and she touched so many people. I knew I could tell her anything and at many times offering sage advice or a comforting embrace. I will miss those times most of all. She made an impact in my life and who I am today.It is difficult to write this entry as the tears still flow,my heart still aches but I am comforted to know she is in heaven. Essie will forever be in my heart and thoughts.



Love,

Charles Fitzgerald
