Dear Grandpa,
I feel as though there are many things left unsaid. I just want you to know that you are the only man that has ever ruled my heart. I hope you knew how much I loved you. You always knew how to make me smile. I never felt like I wasn't cared for because you were always there to remind me that you wouldn't let anything happen to me. Everytime things in my life got tough you always reminded me that there was nothing in this world that I couldn't do. Thank you for always believing in me even when I didn't. You will be in my heart and my thoughts each and everyday. And I promise I will finish school and marry a nice boy some day I promise!!!! Love you Rachel

Dear Noreen and family,
I'm sorry to hear of Richard's death. I remember his calling me Superman in my younger days because Aunt Doris made me the superman suit. That name has stuck every time he saw me. I will miss his joking about it.
I want you to know that my family's prayers are with you during this time of sadness. May God's loving presence and touch be with you.
Love,
Paul and Karleen
