"Donald and Ann,
Tess was married to my Uncle Herbert and I remember her fondly. I used to love to visit them in La Mirada because she was so lovely and made me laugh.
I remember the two of you, too and have thought of all of you through the years.
I prayed for eternal rest for Tess yesterday at mass and peace for you and your families.
God bless you,
Arlene Ellis Russell"
