Dearest Brother,
Just want you to know your memory is indelible in our memories and in our hearts. We have heard so many kind and heart-warming comments about you, both in Cedar Rapids, IA and Aiken, SC. I want you to know that our personally-guided tour of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art by Annie and Bill Statmats was delightful and the aura surreal. I felt your presence so much as the snow flakes that were gently falling when we entered the building grew into a full-fledged storm by the time we left. The $10 million wing for which you raised the funds featured the works of Grant Wood as part of the museum's 75th anniversary. I will always treasure the many memories I have experienced through the years and through the past month when you were remembered so beautifully in both memorial services and in receptions afterward. I know you are somehow aware of the classic manner in which your lovely bride of thirteen years has carried out her many responsibilities and conducted herself throughout the entire ordeal of your death. God bless you, brother, until we meet again.
My deepest love,
"Susie Q"
