Dear Estella,
We expect to be out of town on Wednesday, but we did want to see you and express our sympathy. We both knew Henry from our Easton Express days—he was one of the Revered Press Men.
God Bless, hope to see you soon,
Tom and Audrey Wolfe

A pray for you asking our Heavenly Father to give you
the courage to bear the sorrow you feel and beyond the
sorrow there is a place of comfort from His words in
2 Corinthains 1:3,4, and remember the hope of the
fulfillment of His promise in Acts 24:15 of the resurrection.
With my sincere condolences.
