Dear Betty,

I hope that you saw your lovely bouquet of white tulips in the chapel on Saturday morning. It was so very sweet of you to send them, and to come to the service for Dan. I thought that it was very suitable and dignified, and just what he would have liked, or did like, would say myself. From something you said once in our living-room, years ago, and perhaps you don't even remember it yourself, I have the feeling that you are one of those who do not think that it was the end of Dan's life, but only the beginning in a truer and larger sense. What he had had since November 20th was no life at all, just a miserable existence on a sub-human level, and we are all so happy that he did not have to continue it for months, perhaps even years, more,
