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
