Mrs. Byrne,

I don't know if you remember me but i remember you and your wonderful husband. Many years ago when I was in high school and college, i helped at many parties at your house with my friend Sharon. Over the years she has kept me updated with news of you and your husband. I remember how much fun we had at those parties and we were working but you and your husband always made us feel like we were special. I know how much your husband loved you and I will always have a warm spot in my heart for him and you.. I am sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Love,
Patty Connell
