We are saddened that she leaves us-
a space in our hearts shall be,
But off to heavenly gates-
Her beloved Larry to see.

Bye Mrs. B.

Lori and I send our deepest sympathies on the passing of Mrs. Florence Brewerton who, even at her advanced age, was open to listening to my old show on WNUA, through Art's urging. (She was such a good sport!) We will always remember her gift to us--her son, Art, whose friendship we have cherished for decades. Our thoughts are with you all during this time of loss.
