Dear Jane,

I am so sorry for your losses! I know what its like to lose a parent and it is just awful! My only
comfort was that I could still see my father in my dreams, but it is really hard still. The only remedy
for grief is the passage of time.

I am also very sorry about Leo's passing. He was so young - only 57! My friend said that his wife
may plan a memorial at a church and if we find out anything, I'll be sure to post it.

Kind regards,
Katherine
