Dear Cousin Kathleen: Thanks for sending me copy of the obituary. I extend my most heart felt sympathy to you and your family for your loss of one that I could feel even through your letters that you loved and respected so much. I regret that I was never able to visit with him in person. I would liked to have paid my respect and thanks to him and those who went ashore on Omaha Beach on D-Day for taking the brunt of the German defense for those of us who went in on Utah. Our landing was mild in comparison with what they had to face. My prayers are with you and for him. I am sorry that I did not know him in person. I have filed his picture with my Sisson memorabilia. Please give my love and regrets to the rest of your family. Sincerely Robert Hays Williams rhaysw@cox-internet.com
