Dear Bob,

I apologize for my untimely call when you were grieving for the impending loss of Margie. Please know that Linda and I are remembering the good times and the fun times. We first met Margie during a visit to Champaign. You introduced her as you Italian wife who did not know our English language. We all were amused, and will treasure the times were able to spend together.
