Dear Jim,

You asked me to take care of our son for you, well, I wanted to let you know that Jimmy is 30 years old now and I did the best I could. He turned out to be a fine young man, Jim, you would be proud of him. He grew up to look just like you, and so does our grandson Christopher. You are always in our hearts.

I will always love you.

Love,
Susan
