Dear Elvi and children,



Matt and I were classmates at the graduate school of library science. Elvi, I'm very sorry to hear Matt had died. I got the news from Warren and Dodie. Please be assured of my prayers for the repose of Matt's soul, and I pray that God and His Blessed Mother give you and the children their love and consolation in this difficult time of your life.



Peace and love,

Edita (del Callar) Butler
