Dear Marylyn and John,
I have been away for the past 3 weeks and just got word that your mother died. She was a good friend of my mom and dad, Kay and Eben Bagley, and I'm sure they are all having a good time in heaven. She lived a long life and I hope you both have many happy memories of your life together.
In sympathy,
John and Sharon (Bagley) Andrews
