"Eddie, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I know, from the many trips you and I made, that you loved her very much. May you find peace in this, as I do since losing Lou, one day you will be reunited together again. Until then, hold tight to the many memories the two of you made together. Always, Claire Dehnert"
