Dear Linda and Richard,
It was by chance that I saw the obituary for your mother in the paper. I felt compelled to extend my sincere sympathies to you and your families. I remember with fondness our days together at Bethlehem. Linda, you and I were in school and Blue Birds/Camp Fire together with your Mom as leader. May the memories and the knowledge she is in Heaven with your Dad give you peace.
Sincerely,
Pamela (Schnacke) Macura
