> Having
> no idea who was speaking or what speak about, LDS neighbors of Ms. Patton
> where she moved invited her to their home to listen to conference. She
> accepted invitation and listened to the very session where I directed my
> remarks personally.  During first week of May 1969, he received a letter
> from Ms. Patton.  She said, "I don't know how to thank you for comforting
> words both when he died and again in your talk."   It was not a
