Mr. Cornelius: I wanted to tell you how, even though we only know each other by telephone, how much respect I have for you. You were a terrific husband and "caretaker" to Mrs. Cornelius. Though I don't work there anymore, you stood out as one of "the good ones". Jean (Dr. Blindauer's assistant) God Bless.
