To the family of Mrs. Gilbreth, I am so sorry for your great loss. I will be forever grateful to both Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth for employing me at a time in my life when I needed that job desperately. She was the epitome of class and kindness. May she rest in peace and my God hold all her loved ones in his palm at this difficult time.
