Dear Fredia and Josephine,
I won't be able to attend the service for your father . He is the last of the big family. He has lived a good life and will be missed. When my mother Gertie died we no longer had occasion to see each other so we have gone our separate ways. I think of the family at this time. I had cancer surgery last Friday so I am not able to go anywhere yet. I wanted to let you know I was thinking about you .
