Dearest Angela and Family:
I had the privilege of being close to the Hochwert family. I adored your mother and we became close confidants.
I felt as if your father was my brother. I was "The Other Sally" as he used to call me.
I feel a deep loss at his passing. Just know that he loved you and yours, and that love will be with you always.
With Love,
Sally Stifter Rich
