I know it has been 10 years since your Father“s Death, I have only just learned of it. My name is Teres Edmonds, and our family lived in Rio where my Dad worked at the Instituto from 1975-1976. I have fond memories of your family, Evelyn, Stevie and Jeannie and of that of your parents, who always made us feel welcomed. Late I realize, but my condolences to you all.

Dear Naomi,
I am so sorry to hear of the death of your brother. This is your cousin Dianne, Arthur and Louise's daughter. It always meant so much to my parents when your brother always made sure to visit them when he was in the States. He was a lovely, gentle man who did so much for so many.
My deepest sympathies,
Dianne
