Your Mom was a wonderful person. When I was small, we lived on Park Ave. We were right in Mom's backyard. She was so wonderful to me. She taught me so many things. She made a lasting impression on me.
I have always loved her. She was always the same. So full of happiness.
I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Richard, Bobby,
Helen was the greatest. She was my mother's best girl friend. My mother lived next to your mother on Newton Avenue. Helen had the world's greatest disposition. We all loved being in her presence. The world went a little off tilt when she left us. She could not be matched.
