Papa, we will miss you!

Dear Mrs. Schwartz and Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy to you and the family.
I am sure you will remember me from Grade 4 at Campus View
Elementary. I was quite new here from Portugal. Your lovely daughter Debbie, Dorothy continued throught the remainder of our elementary, junior and high school years together. My family still
lives on Mortimer Street. I also lost my father a year ago on Feb 17th. May the good Lord help you all through this sad time.
Maria and William Taylor (Correia).
