Dear Walter-
Experiencing the death of a wife is so personal that very few of us can understand the grief involved. Perhaps it will help to ease your sadness if you know that Mary will be greatly missed by all of her friends, and that we all share in your sadness.
Mary was one of the most charming and warment women I have ever known. I will never forget her. My love is with you and your family.
So sorry about your lost, I know how you feel as I lost George in 2000.
With sympathy. Mary Berry-Rodda
