Dear Ruthie, and Ruth:<br>What can I say? Rose, Danny, Christina and I send our warmest condolences to you and your family. Even though we won't be able to physically be there with you at this difficult time, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Betty was a bright spot in my life, and when I think of her, a pleasant smile comes to my face. I remember the "family adventures" (boating) in Essex and Ipswich, and also the trips to Daytona Beach, Fla., and countless memories of West Peabody, chickens, "bunga lane", and so on. I hope, and I know, that these good and positive thoughts will be with you, as they are with me, forever.<br><br>Love,<br><br>Ray Leach and Family
