Dear Betty,
I have such good memories of us during our teen years, I especially liked your Mom and her sense of humor and always giving me a ride to work at Hunt's. I have always hoped I would be able to contact you but certainly not in this way. My condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.
Warmest regards,
Joan Edwards-Levi
