In part: "Betty and I learned of Essie's passing the day of her funeral. We were deeply saddened and wish to extend to you and the Family our condolences in this time of sorrow…As I write this sad note I think of those great days when you were a leader in the House. All members on both sides of the House had tremendous admiration and affection for you.
