Dear Mrs. Burgess, Jeanne, and Leilani,
I was sorry to hear of Mr. Burgess’ passing. I remember his as a very kind and patient man (and a good cook–especially impressive for a time when few men cooked!) I am sorry for your loss and hope your memories of good times sustain you as you grieve.
Fondly,
