Thank you from Joe DiMaggio with Marilyn Monroe funeral handout
My grandmother purchased a mass from the catholic church in behalf of Marilyn Monroe when she passed. Joe DiMaggio sent a thank you note to my grandma and included the handout from Marilyn's funeral on Wednesday, August 8, 1962 at Westwood Memorial Park. My grandma knew I love Marilyn and she gave me the note from Joe addressed to her along with the funeral handout. She cherished it as do I.
