To my dear Cousins,
Though I’m far way, my heart and prayers are near as they can be to each of you.

Remember, no one is truly gone until the last person who knew them tells the last story about them.

Speak often of your Mother, my Aunt, and she will live on in our memories, until we are all together again in Heaven. God bless her and all of you and your families.

With heart felt sympathy,

Jim and Cece Gardon
