"Sorry to hear of the loss of Walter. I haven't seen him in years but, I remember Walter and sister Linda in our school days. Julie, you may not remember me but, I lived across the street from your Aunt at 819 McCormick Ave. Your Aunt lived at McCormick and 9th street. You came down every summer to visit your Aunt. Again, so sorry to hear about Walter."
