Dear Mel,



Let me say how saddened I was to hear of your wife’s passing. I admire your devotion to your wife and know that only a love sculptured over many years could survive the trials we are all faced with throughout our lives. I pray that God may grant you peace and comfort in knowing that someday we will all be united with our loved ones and that you again will be united with Anita.



May God be with you and your family.

Dear Mel,

I was so saddened to hear that Anita passed away!! The two of you were so devoted to each other, it was beautiful to watch you together. I will remember what a sweet and wonderful woman Anita was. Always with a beautiful smile and twinkle in her eye, a kind word for everyone and a cheerful song on her lips!! "Summertime" will be my favorite memory. She certainly gave it her best in therapy, didn't she. I was honored to try to be of help. I have a tournament to go to for my son on Sunday, so I am not sure that I can make the funeral, but I wanted to be sure to send my condolences and wish you comfort. May her memory be a blessing, Marion Mito
