Dear Frank & Anna

We received your card of cancellation today in the mail, prior to opening any  mail, I was in Bklyn to see Mom, and she told me of an impending separation between two people I love very dearly.

If you would allow me to indulge myself, I explained to her that seperations are oft times the best period for self evaluation and deep insight into one's self. The impossible when given time and perhaps professional help (alone) suddenly becomes a real & positive possibility.

We males & females are made up of different chemistews and quit often they get out of wack, we just need readjustment, strong belief in ourselves and an awful lot of giving love away. one spouse to the other.

I don't presume to judge your marital differences, but I know your marriage was started on a firm foundation. So some bricks have come loose, but with the right mixture you can rebuildt a stronger & firmer foundation.

How many times I myself have wanted to throw the sponge in, but after the storm came the calm & a stronger bond, because we relize we are both human & have many frailities.

I'm sure God will direct you according to his will - there are many lives to be considered yours & your children.

My daily Eucharist & Rosary will be that both of you find each other in a firmer conviction of your vows and "*that nothing lasts forever" - all things are possible with God. Won't you both please ask Him to let your marriage be possible.

We love you, all our prayers for you & yours.

Betty & Tony
