I'm going to miss you Katie. I pray you are at peace now. Gus & Zeva are being taken care of I know that was your biggest worry. Every time we talked which was once or twice a week I would ask you how are your kids & you would say as we speak they are fine & she would ask me. You never complained once. God love you, & I love you. Patricia
