children said
Joe Evans to
his wife
Claire.

the warmth, food and
affection.

The two children grew

into happy, wonderful
people.
2012..

Joe came
home early
from work.
He found a
letter in the
letterbox.
He wandered into
the garden to read
the letter.

Although it was
addressed to Mrs.
C. Evans, he had no
reason to think it
was private.
