Libby Dale note

In January the post office forwarded to me a letter from Libby Dale to Mom. I wrote back to Libby that mom had died in December.
Today I got the following note:
Dear Bill Etal,
I mentioned her today to friends , then you letter.
I was afraid of your letter news. I loved her, she was remarkable and had an amazing spirit. She will always be in my heart.
You have to be happy for her to have died the way we all pray for. I always think of all the hail Mary’s that my mother and Jane probable said over their years,” Pray for us at the hour of our death”. Even tho I was startled when she said she no longer went to Mass, I again had to admire her spirit and I guess you could say “independent thinking. You know she’s in heaven no matter what! But I will miss her being here. Please tell all your family, condolences and thank you for writing me.

Libby.
