Please accept our sincerest sympathy in the passing of your mother.

Hello Donat and family,
I am sorry for your loss. I remember you and your parents after all these years. I was brought up on Buckley Hill and especially remember your “hot rod” — I think it may have been a ’57 Chevy.
I also remember your parents driving around town in the corvette.
God Bless,
Dick
