Life was hard for Inger Kastrup after losing Emory

Before Emory Graffis left for the service he asked Inger Kastrup to marry him. She accepted. While stationed in Hawaii, he sent her a birthday card: It read: “Sweetheart of mine -- Loving you means happiness and skies a bit more blue! Thinking of you means my thoughts are bright and happy, too! Greeting you just means I’m glad, to have a part. In birthday thoughts and wishes, when they’re for you Sweetheart! Emory.”
