We will so miss our letter writing with you. You told us such good stories. Harry wears his red scarf in pride. Maybe there is a post office in Heaven?

Mike, I was so sorry to see of the passing of your sweet Mom. I regret that I will not be able to attend her service tomorrow. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers in this difficult time of life. But I know, that you know, she is in heaven with our Lord and Savior.
Sending hugs,
