Dear Paul,

Joan and I were so sorry to learn about Margie. We had no idea she was ill and were very surprized when Linda called to tell us. For some reason just lately we were talking about the two of you and thinking we need to get together. It is hard to think about your friends leaving because time goes by so fast and you think they will always be there. We know Margie is in a place we are all trying to get to and know she is happy and at peace.
