Dear Tom
I got words from Fayetteville that your lovely Linda went to another world.
I know your pain Tom, but words cannot ease the sorrow that is in your heart today.
Take each day as it comes and live in peace and health.
With “DEEPEST SYMPATHY” on the loss of your wonderful wife and friend Linda.
With good thoughts.
Love, Trudy
