Dear Aunt Sadie,
I am so glad to have had you for an aunt. I have the best memories of being with you and Uncle Don at the farm in Deerfield, I would get to stay for a week at a time, you made the best no-bake cookies. Mom was lucky to have a great sister like you. You are now at peace and with your other loved ones in heaven. Please help Mom to watch over us. Until we meet again.
Love, Hilda
