CA - Priceless Love Letters Stolen from 80-Year-Old Widow, Glendale, Apr 2015

When Rosaleen Rickerby’s husband of 56 years died on their wedding anniversary last December she took comfort in knowing she still had a box of his love letters to read. Every so often she would take them out and read a few of them to reflect on their precious memories.



But now those letters, written by her husband John when they were dating and kept for years in a makeup case in her closet, are missing—stolen by a thief who likely had no idea what they were taking. The little piece of him she had left is now seemingly gone forever.



Her late husband, who once said the couple were "soul mates from the day we met," sent her letters every week or two in the late 1950s. "She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen," he wrote in his memoirs.
