Dear Kurt, Pat, and family,
Frieda and my Dad were first cousins and for the past 25 years I have enjoyed your mother's letters to me. I regret that I did not visit her in later life. But travelling to Long Island was difficult for me.
She will be in my prayers and I will treasure the memories.

Sincerely,

Your cousin, Joyce
