Ms. Irma Santiago
Del Pilar St.
Cabanatuan City
Dear Ms. Santiago:
The extremely sad news of Nita’s death is something that I can still hardly believe. It is impossible to put into words how I feel, but you know the many things I would say. Above all, I want you to know that, as one of your oldest friends, I am with you with spirit, and only regret that distance makes it impossible for me to be with you in person.
I shall never forget how you stood by me when I suffered the same loss just one year ago, and how you said and did things for me which I shall be eternally grateful.
My deepest sympathy goes to you in this letter, which is a very weak expression of all that I am thinking.
Sincerely,
Myra Santos
