John, you and I have not seen each other since we were kids.I still remember you visiting us in Maryland with your Mother and Little Aunt Maggie. Your Mother was my god-mother and my Mother, Thelma Hagelgans Reifsnyder, was related to Lillian. I heard about your Mother and now your wife and I just wanted you to know that both Mother and I are sorry for your loss.
