Dear (Aunt) Eleanor, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Johny.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your and your family. I am very fortunate to have had met you both through Kathy and have enjoyed John's company and sense of humor at your family functions. My memory will always be of him getting me in trouble at Pat's 50th birthday party. God be with him, you and your family.
