8、       When my husband, Bob, died very suddenly in January 1994, I received condolences（慰唁）from people I hadn't heard from in years: letters, cards, flowers, calls, visits．I was  1  by the strong feeling of sadness, yet uplifted by this outpouring of love from family, friends and even  2  acquaintances．

       One message   3  me deeply．I received a letter from my best friend from sixth grade  4 high school．We had drifted somewhat since 5  in 1949, as she stayed in our home town and I had not,  6  it was the kind of friendship that could  7  start again even if we lost  8  for five or ten years．

       Her husband, Pete, had died perhaps 20 years ago at a young age,   9  her with deep sorrow and heavy   10  : finding a job and raising three young children．She and Pete, like Bob and I, had  11  one of those rare, close, “love-of- your-life-you-can-never-forget” relationships．

       In her letter she shared an   12  about my mother （now long dead）．She wrote, “  13   Pete died, your dear mother  14  me and said, ‘Trudy, I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just say I love you．’”

       She  15  her letter to me repeating my mother's words of so long   16 , “Bonnie, I don't know what to say ．．．so I'll just say I love you．”

       I felt I   17   almost hear my mother speaking to me now．What a   18  message of sympathy! How dear of my friend to   19  it all those years and then pass it on to me．I love you． 20  words．A gift．A legacy（遗赠物）．
