Dear Wendell and Family,

Ken informed me by email of your mother's death. I was very sorry to learn that she had died. Makie and I send you our deepest sympathy and condolences. I hope you will be able to take some comfort from the fact that she certainly lived a long, full life. I know she will be sorely missed. I will be sending a formal letter and a donation tomorrow.
