Dear Aunt Norma,
We send our deepest sympathy at this time of your loss. We will all miss Uncle Clayt. Some of my fondest childhood memories are times spent at the cottage with you and Uncle Clayt. I loved fishing with him and listening to his funny stories. He had such a zest for life and a wonderful bond with dogs. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love always, Sally, David, Grace, & Lily
