Kinds words of support from Margaret and the Kinmonts

My dear Betty,
In spite of all the warnings, yesterday's updates from Margaret and from Karen have hit us all, and Clifton's thoughtful message this morning reinforced it all.
As you know, Rex was nine years of age when Noeline arrived, and twelve when I joined her. So we have been the "step" generation, and he has been part of our lives always. His marriage to you was the best thing he ever did, and I want to send my love and thanks to all three of your children for loving and valuing him so faithfully. My own children and grandchildren venerate him, and join me in grieving for you all at this time. You must all be very tired.
Isobel phoned for news, and I have passed on the latest report to her. I do hope the removal to more comfortable surroundings takes place soon, and that you are all able to have peace of mind.
Love from all the Kinmonts,
Margaret
