Hazel writes Arnold a few days after Dolly's funeral. She was buried in her wedding gown in Forest Lawn Cemetery, where eight years later, Arnold's first-born son will be buried (though eventually disinterred and moved to a cemetery in Florida to make run for Arnold's sister Laura in the 1990's).
The list of relatives mentioned in the letter include: Tony Nevis (Bill's brother), Tony's son Stanley Nevis and his wife Betty, Bill's sister Isabelle (Belle) Nevis Bettencourt, Bill's sister Mary Ann Nevis Silva, Bill's sister Della Nevis Gomes and her husband Henry, Hazel's brother Les Wolfe (Sr.) and his wife Lenore, and a number of Bill's nephews and nieces, including Amelia Gomes, Alvin Gomes, Alice Gomes, Laura Nevis Mello, Bob Mello, Jerry Mello, Laura Mello, Edwin Buddy Mello, Katherine (Catherine) Mello, Ray and Mary Gomes, and Hazel and Tom Batti. The others cited were Leonard's wife Pat's "Aunt Be" and "Uncle Dave" and neighbors Larry and Helen Gibney. The two businesses were Bill's company, the Ideal System Company and Wayne's Goss Cleaners.
