My sincerest sympathy on the anniversary of the loss of John. I´m Sure you don´t remember me. I was a childhood friend of Patricia´s. When I saw the names Judith, and Tony and Patricia I knew it had to be the Basiles from Pine Street in Sudbury Massachusetts, once upon a time. Love and Kindest regards

Though some time has gone by since John's death I continue to think about him and send prayers for his family. I wish peace for you all. These many years that separate now from the day long ago when I met John have not taken a bit of the love I always had for him. My great hope is that when my death comes John will be there for me.
