Dear Hal,
....and your family, Valerie and Dr. Stefani,
I'm sorry to read of Mrs. Stefani's passing. It's sad to see an old friend's name in an obituary and realize those little kids we once talked about have lost their Grandmother; and Dr. Stefani his wondrous wife.... my prayers join so many others this week trying to ease that pain with authentic, if far flung, condolences. Suddenly, Hal, we have decades of history together and I hope this small sad note, despite our lapse, kindles something you might share for strength with your family at this time.
Your old envelope friend,
Tom Hansen
