I received your letter a few days ago, and since then wehave lost Mom. She passed away January 9. I thought of wiring youand then thought better of that. I think you've had enough and toshock you I couldn't see it. I thought a letter would be better.Mom sliped away very peacefuly. She just went to sleep and that wasall of it, the family were very much relived to think she didn't haveto suffer. She's been so pitiful and so afraid of being hurt. Shehas been so much in the last 5 years poor soul. We buried her atMilford with Dad January 12th. Aunt Rose, Bert and Fred came down.Aunt Rose looks very well she hold her age surprisingly well. Theday was very cold and depressing, but I think all funerals seem to dothat to people.
  Even though Mom came out of the operation fine, we were shocked whenit did come. She seemed in such good spirits the day before.Bertha, you spoke of coming to Kansas this summer, I be very happy tohave you and Sis. We can talk so much better than write so if youcan you know you allway welcome at our home. Burnice is in Germany.I hear from her often but wish she were here in the states. All therest of the family are O.K.
  Had Alva's in Tuesday and they eat dinner with me. It's the same ole6&7 never a dime I don't understand that guy. Why he can't make itall the rest have. I sometime think he love charity and pity and tome that one heck of a way to try to go through life. Id get woboried with that but that him alway looking for a hand out. Wellhoney I close for now I'm sending the thank you card out this AM andI just had to write you, so till I hear from you. All my love andcome when you can. Mary Seley" ******
