Patty -

I don't know if you remember me, but we were friends from NNHS. I heard bits and pieces on the news but didn't put it together until I saw your mom's name in the paper. I want you to know how sorry I am for all of you. She always was nice and friendly to me, no matter how busy she was with all the kids. Please contact me if you want. My e-mail is [email protected].

Betty and I, along with others,had the opportuntiy to visit many cities throughout this country. I remember best her verve for seeing and learning about new places; equally inpressive was Betty's ability to recall the history and background of those places.I will look back at those experiences with fond memories. My thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time.



Best personl regards,
