Dear Uncle Freddie, Al, Barbara, Uncle Harry and all,

I was so sad to hear of Aunt Lena's passing. I have many fond memories of our visits to your house when we were young. I was especially grateful for all of the support you had given our family when my father became ill and passed away two years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
