Dear Kathy and Brian,

Perhaps you do not remember me, my name is Kathy Myers, my dad is Eugene Zeigler, half brother to your dad.  I read of your mother’s death in the morning paper and wanted to tell you how I remember her.  She was very pretty, had beautiful black hair,  a friendly smile, and always had time to talk to a child.
My dad just celebrated his 104th birthday, is in very good health although his memory is fading.
I send my expressions of sympathy with love.

Most sincerely,
Kathy Myers
