Hi Kathy, It is with deep regret that I send this note. 45 years ago I introduced a great, caring and kind friend to my best friend. You have spent 45 years of enjoyment together. May those memories help carry you during the difficult times. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers-we will have lunch soon-I am sorry so much time has past. Marty extends his sympathy to you and your family also. Love to you, Alberta & Marty
