Dear Mrs. Gray:
Last week I had a dream that Fran and I were visiting you at the house on Leahy. You had remodeled and re-landscaped. Your backyard was awash in pink azaleas, blue iris, and purple wisteria.
I asked Anna if she had any news of you and just today she told me about Mr. Gray's death. I am so sorry for your loss. Please tell Fran, Mike, Lynn, Kenny, Celie, John, Tommy and Andrea that I am thinking of them.

I remember Uncle Neil asking me math questions, he loved to try to teach with a riddle or a story. I remember he would always laugh at my dad and shake his head. We had fun at the beach, we all walked on board walk and waited for our ice cream cones. My cousins, the Grays, and the Lynns, we all have these memories we will share forever. God bless you Uncle Neil and God bless Aunt Mary Ann and all my cousins. Mark, Colleen, Anita, Elaine, Clare and Aimee Knightly send our prayers and thoughts of love.
