Hi Boys and Wife's [Companion}:
Hey guys, remember the "good old days?] We will sure miss those days and your dear Mother. It seems so long ago when we got together and played card. We know all of you, and all your children will miss Helen dearly. We were shocked to read the obituaries today, not knowing she was ill, if indeed she was. Would like to see you all. Brownie and I will keep you in our prayers in your time of sorrow. May God be with you. All our love, Marianne and Brownie
