“Dear Tom:
I do appreciate your thoughtfulness and the dignified way that you took care of Gloria. Everything was conducted in the manner that I think she would have wanted.
We have all suffered a great loss. I don’t think I’ll ever understand why, but I’ll always be thankful for the time we spent together.
Again, I would like to thank you and your family for the kindness and comfort that you gave to all during this great tragedy.
