Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription II
I waited Rose because I'm not able to fully comprehend. All I know is you are and always were one of the most dedicated unselfish person who gave always of yourself. You are loved by those you've touched perhaps you've forgotten a little to love yourself a bit?
I hope Rose you are staying busy with people as your inspiration could mean so much to others young or aged. It would be a waste to withdraw even in hurt and pain.
You and Ben both were a blessing to me as you'll never know. I wish there were something I could do to help you with your cross Rose. I guess I'm not too good at thinking anymore.
Lu is working now as a bookeeper in town and remains the same although a wee bit older.
Bev is finished school and will be teaching next year we hope.
Buth Jr. has parted with his wife and two children tho he visits the kids frequently my heart bleeds for them as they always ask 'Grandpa" if Daddy is there. He works on atomic research with Gulf Atomics.
Marguerite my former "nun" is in Hartford, Conn. with two sweet "lil girls". Her husband is a printer.
Marge is married to a pharmacist and still goes to school. She is a substitute teacher Eng III in Brawley. Happy like two tumble bugs in a pile of manure.
Barbara is doing outstanding in 1st yr high and has growing pains. Our baby!
If you are ever in Cal our house is always open to you Rose. Now that the children are down to one we do have some space.
Take care!
Love
"Butch" and family
[Reynolds]
Rose note: 'not answered"
