Since , because of infirmity, I will be unable to attend the funeral, which charity do you suggest we use for our contribution to preserve the memory of this faithful servant until the unforeseen and untimely early departure brought emptiness into your soul and an unoccupied space on your desk and in your back pack.

What a pity if the latter were the case, then we shall also have to make extra efforts in comforting the bereaved owner. Marta
