Dermot, AR Thursday, May 23, 2024 Sweet Clara and your dear family:I remember meeting Peggy years ago when you and I went to see her in Monticello. She impressed me then. I also remember thinking how much you too looked alike. I remember lots of other things, but most important to remember is to express my sympathy to you and your family for your loss. I think of you often and will offer my prayers for you. I wish you peace my friend.
Deepest Sympathies,
