Dear Nick and Peggy,
I was speaking with mom (Lois) on Thuesday night and she told me of Mary’s passing.
She will greatly missed, I know. I am so glad that John and I were able to see you and that Mary was able to attend Aunt Margaret’s funeral.
They always shared such a special bond that only identical twins could understand.
I know they missed being together after they both became ill. They were eachother’s best friend.
I hope that you will continue to keep in touch with all of us and consider us your ‘extended family’.
All best wishes and prayers during this difficult time.
Debbie and John
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am sorry to read about this in the newspaper because I feel like she was someone I used to know since I also am retired from Sears. I want to send my sympathy to her family.
