Dear Irene, 
Please  accept my condolences.  Our families have been linked for over fifty years.  Your mother was neighbor to my grandmother, Willie Mae Swinton, for many years. Your mother exercised with my parents, James & Marguerite Bussey.  You and I played saxophone in the Columbus High band.  You both were very kind women. 
Sincerely,
Janet Bussey
