Dear Lenny,
Dick Tobin my friend told me
all
about you and
I am very sorry to hear
of your unfortunate
situation nevertheless
keep your chin up and
keep on fighting and
just say that someday
I will walk again
never give up hope.
I will (be) watching your
progress and praying for
you. May God bless
you now and always.
Best wishes always
sincerely your pal
Carmen Basilio |
