OUR LOSS
Mr. Fasner,
Deliliah was a gift to anyone who knew her and even those who didn't. The employee who caused her such emotional distress has been dealt with. He no longer works at LuthorCorp and I have taken measures to assure that he will never work anywhere in Metropolis again. That is, unless busboy sounds like a promising occupation for him.
None of this was done illegally, just to ease your mind. There were a few things that LuthorCorp was willing to overlook in the past that came to my attention recently. Things that if he were to pursue his current lack of employ here, would end up on the steps of every precinct and the desk of every lawyer in the city.
I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss, and I feel it is my loss as well.
Alexander J. Luthor
Mr Luthor,
I can't thank you enough for the amazing funeral. My husband says that it's because Deliliah must have been a great secretary and all, but a mother knows better.
I picked up her stuff and, to get to know better the daughter I was stupid enough to shun, I started reading her journals. Some of it hurts bad and some of it makes me laugh and cry. Some of it kills me to read. But the parts about you are always nice. You made her feel something other than scared and I want to thank you.
I stayed late at the reception to talk to you instead of just crawling in bed like I wanted to. But you left early, so I snuck out to visit my daughter's grave. I saw you there, touching the headstone. You burned a letter by the grave. I wish I knew what it said.
You are a good man, Lex Luthor. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Love Always,
Matilda May Frasner
