Don,

Mother, Jerry and I want you and your family to know how sorry we were to hear about Betsy. Mother has been homebound for the last 2 1/2 years, but she wants you to know that if there was any way she could be there for you she would. She has always treasured your phone calls and contact that you have had thru the years.

Please know our thought and prayers are with you.

sincerely, Lynn Rader Martin
