Dear Jo,
My heart aches, because I feel I was not a good enough friend to you and should have helped you better with your problems. I plan to share some (profound) thoughts with my lady friends in hopes of being a better friend to them. I should console myself in that you got a few years of good exercise in our pool, but it doesn't help much. We certainly appreciated your sewing talents, and know your family will be blessed by that. It is helpful to know how much you liked our church, Ashland Av. Baptist, and that, but for a slightly different "doctrine", you might have been a member there. Lastly, we will plant a tree for you, in our yard. I hope you and Sugar and Angel will help it flourish :-).
Love you, Elsie and John
