You've Got Mail

When Angelina Gonsalves went to check her mail last month, she was astonished to find a letter written by her deceased husband postmarked from 1945.
- When he wrote the letter all those years ago, John Gonsalves was a 22-year-old WWII Army sergeant stationed in Bad Orb, Germany.
📬 Lost & found... The letter was addressed to his mother, who had also passed on. USPS eventually established Angelina as John's next-of-kin and delivered it to her for safekeeping, adding that it's "uncertain" where the letter had been all this time.
- "It was a weird feeling — like he was standing there, reading it to me," said Angelina, who was married to John for 61 years before his passing. "I smiled when I saw his beautiful handwriting."
