Dear Aunt Mary and family,
I am sorry to hear about Uncle Buddy's passing. Uncle Buddy was a wonderful and loving man. You have been in my thoughts and prayers for some time. I will always remember the great times we spent together. A favorite is when Uncle Buddy and my father would take Mary Beth and I ice skating and then treated us to hot chocolate at the Irish club. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Love to all,
Paula
