Dear Betty, it has been a very long time, but I want to express my sympathy for the loss of Mr. Packhem. He was always a very nice man in my memory of him as a child. May he rest in peace, and may God comfort you and your family during this difficult time. I am sure you will remember me (Joe McGurrin's oldest daughter, Patsy) ... Again, so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself. xo
