Liebe Edith,
I learned today that your dear, dear Gerhard passed away just a week before
Christmas.    I am SO VERY SAD to know this, meine liebe Edith.    I called Albert and he told me this very sad news.     I wish I could take you in my arms and hold you for a long time.     Gerhard was such a very good man and I know you love each other very much.     I know you miss him VERY MUCH, liebe Edith, meine liebe freudin.    I wish I could take you in my arms.    My eyes have been crying for your GREAT LOSS of liebe Gerhard.    Mit liebe, Marilyn
