I am saddened today to learn of the passing of my favorite teacher. Mrs. Dietrich was a blessing in my life. Her sweet voice and dependable kindness was something I relied on as a child. I have many fond memories of our time together.

My condolences to her husband and children. She always spoke so lovingly of you all.

May meant so much to me. In the mail from Quincy, WA today is an expression of my feelings about May (my "new" cousin" who was so admired by me and others.) She was a bright and shining star--this May-flower. check is enclosed for memorial
With deep and sincere sympathy to you, David, and to all of the family.
