Dear Shirley,
I just read five minutes ago of your Mother’s passing. I’m so very sorry that I did not attend her viewing. Had I known, I certainly would have stopped by to pay my respects. My parents always thought and spoke very highly of your Mom and Dad. And they were always so friendly to my brother, Dave, and I when we attended services and the famous Pork Chop Dinners at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. (Dave and I bowled with your Dad for years in the church bowling league.) I’m very glad that I bumped into your Mom and you at The Buttonhole Resale Store, earlier this year. I’m glad I got to chat with your Mom and I recall her saying how much she enjoyed working in the garden at Hamilton Presbyterian Church.
Please accept condolences from my brother and me.
My best,
Doug Saltzman
