Dear Mrs. Telford



Was very sorry to read of the passing of your husband. Though it has been some time since you have seen me, I hope that you remember me from Nelson School (circa 1982).



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. May his memory be for a blessing.



Sincerely,



Rob Festenstein

Dear Doris,

I am very sorry to hear of Marv's death. I always like to listen to you talk about your wonderful family. I know your life will be different, but I also know that you have been fortunate to have been Marv's wife for all these many years. Remember how beautiful you looked at your 50th anniversary. I certainly remember the wonderful shoes you were buying for the event. I know Marv appreciated all the remarkable events you shared. I will try and come to the wake, but if I am unable, please remember my thought are with you. Love, Evelyn Christensen
