    Dear Sally, Jerry and family, My aunt Eileen was visiting us this weekend in Chapel Hill and told us about the passing of your mom. We want to express our condolences. Your mother lived across the street from our aunt. Your mom was a classy lady. She was a example of the great women of an era prior to ours. We are so glad you had her near you recently. We are thinking of you. Hold firm the memories. Sincerely, Dave and Lynn Hutter
