Don, Carol, Debbie,

I am so sorry to hear about Cheryl. I am sorry that I did not keep in touch with you guys, even though Don was not. I should have made him keep in touch. I am sure by now you know that we have been divorced, but that does not mean that I cannot let you know how very sorry I am about Cheryl. I am sorry that I cannot make the Wake, but Shelby has the flu right now, and I don't want to come near you and possibly give you that also. I will be sending you a card, and along with it my address now, so hopefully, we can stay in touch even though Don and I are no longer together. Again, I am so very sorry to hear this bad news, I know Cheryl was very loved.
