Dear Kitty and Family,
Just heard the sad news today, as we have just sold our cottage and had to vacate all its content by the 13th of Oct. and had cancelled our internet access there. No one thought of phoning us. I'm so glad we had the chance to spend time together at my mother's funeral 2yrs ago. He will be greatly missed, like Ralph, they are simply unforgetable. Its a blessing that he passed away peacefully at home.
Our hearts and thoughts go out to you all with deepest sympathy at this very sad time.

Dear Kitty, Julie and family,

We are very sorry for your loss. Bobby was such a kind, loving man. I have fond memories of him sitting at Nanny and Gramps' kitchen table growing up. Once, when my mother and I were visiting Gramps in the hospital, we saw Bobby there. He took me outside and we sat in the sun talking about Gramps and life. I will never forget this loving, gentle moment.
Much love to you all during this time where words do so little. Xo
