Dear Bob,Tom, and Nancy,

Your father was a favorite uncle and a great brother to my mother, his sister Kathryn, especially towards the end of her life. Mom appreciated his visits and the time he spent with her. My sympathy to all the Cleaver family.

Dear family,
I was very fond of your Dad. He was always smiling and so friendly, and I always looked forward to seeing him. I was heartbroken when he passed away. I just want you to know he sure made an impact on me, and I am grieving also.
Sincerely,
