My Dearest April!
I’m so sad, for the loss of your father!
Haven’t seen you for many years! I used to babysit you back when we all lived in the apartment building, across the hall! I loved it when you would brush my long blonde hair!
Do you remember?
Call me, I would love to see you again! And give you a great big HUG!
Love, Jenny
