Aunt Diane and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this terribly difficult time. Uncle Art was an inspiration to us all. He was a very big part of my childhood and I will never forget his kindness, generosity, jokes and endless love for his family and I feel blessed to have those memories. I loved him dearly and will miss his beautiful smile.
Love and prayers,
Diane
