Dear Uncle Genie, Pam, Mary Jane, Eugene, and Maggie,

I'm so sorry I am unable to be at the wake and funeral to honor my godmother. She was always so kind. I never once heard her complain or judge anyone. Jim and I looked forward to her birthday calls every year. I remember all the goodies she always brought to family parties. What a great baker she was! Take comfort in knowing she will no longer be suffering.
