Dear Margaret, Lemi and family,

My heartfelt sympathy to you and all your family during this very difficult time. I remember all the wonderful times at Francis's Cafe when we were grewing up...and all the hours we spent there. Your family seemed like a part of mine. I will treasure those memories forever. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers today and always.

Much Love,
Suellen

To Jacob's family. My thoughts and sympathy are with all of you. Jacob was always so friendly when I would visit his wonderful mother and sister, Rosie, and brother, Albert (Eddie) who accompanied me when I sang in the Arabian Nights Pageant and other programs. His father, Jake, served on the City Council with my husband, Roger. The whole family served Coachella Valley in many ways. Jacob will be greatly missed but he is with God and his other family members in Heaven. Margaret my prayers are with you and Jacob's family. God Bless all of you.
