Dear Geraldine,
I rented the lovely home on East Main street from you and I loved living there. If I'm remembering correctly, your father built it and it stayed in your family until it was sold. Thank you SO much for allowing me to live there and be a part of the home's history. You were extremely kind and generous for having let me live there. Thanks again, and we'll see you again someday!
