Dear Barbara,
I was very sorry to learn from my daughter Catherine Clement of the death of your father. Over the years, especially when I was in the employ of the Diocese of Ottawa, I had association with your dad and always enjoyed that association. Since my car will be in the garage I will be unable to come to his funeral, as I would have liked, but want to send my condolence to you and your family by this means.
Sincerely,
Ron
