Dear Family,

Cousin Brud.

Dear Nancy and Family, I'm so sorry to hear about Colin.

Yes, we did have quite a few outings, and I enjoyed everyone of them, Brud was a very intersting man. I loved to hear him talk about his travels and the places he had been. He loved music and would sing quite often too..
He loved you and Andy, and talked proudly of you both.
Again my condolences. I'm glad I got to share a part of Colin's
life. I'm all the better for it.
