Dear Anne, A brief message to say how very, very sorry I am to learn of your mother's death. Over the many years of my friendship with your brother I came to know her as a modest, patient, thoughtful and wonderfully kind woman who always put others first. As a result everyone, it seemed, came to rely on her, including Paul, and I can only imagine how hard it was for her when he died so suddenly last spring. She was still grieving for him when I spoke to her just before Christmas and, however small,it must be a comfort to you now to know that they are together, and at rest. I extend my deepest sympathy to you and Eugene and your family. Most sincerely, Don. Gamble
