Dan,

When you spoke of your aunt I didn't realize that your relationship was that close and she had raised you and your brother as sons so I'm sure your loss is acute. You have my deepest sympathy.

Barb, Steve, and Dan,
Just saw this about Katie. What a wonderful woman both her and Barb. I will always remember how kind and thoughtful she was during our days playing in your "side yard" on Sherman Ave.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
