Dearest Rose
I suppose you think I've
forgotten all about you believe me
I haven't. But so much to do when
I'm working, I neglect my good friends
on Dr. Arnold Xmas card to us he wrote
about your Dear mother passing on
and also said he had heard you
were not well since your accident I
got in touch with Anita and had
planned to meet her on Monday, But
we cancelled our appointment until after
this year is over. Dear Rose we three
are so heartbroken about the sudden
death of our Dear Brother Marc.
He was found dead in his bed on Thanks-
giving afternoon, and probably had passed
on the eve before. He was only 58 yrs old
and never married and the same.
type of person as Alga, never complained

Even though he had a heart condition, well
I just can't write all the good qualities he had
we all loved him so dearly.
Dear Rose accept my deepest sympathy
and I know that you have been so good to
your mom which should help so much
If only one of us could have been with our
Brother to comfort or do something for him
But I guess it was not to be
My love to all of you
Lydia [Moses]
