Dear Rosemary, Kay, Carolyn, Dale, and Tony:
I am so sorry to hear that your Mother Velva passed away on Saturday. My brother Angelo just told me. I will send a sympathy card soon. I remember her as being a very talented woman. Although my mother and I cannot attend. You and your families will be in our thoughts on Wednesday. I know she will be missed dearly. I hope you will be consoled knowing she is at rest. My thoughts and prayers will be with you at this time.
Lovingly,
Margaret and Peggy Valenti
