Dear Billy, Bruce & Sam:
I sent your Mom a letter last week to tell her I was thinking of her. I have so many pleasant memories of her and your Dad; we often went out together as couples on Saturday nights to The Holiday Inn. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. She was one terrific lady.
