Dear Aunt Margret, Kim, and Jason- I'm sorry for the lost you have experienced. Even though he was my uncle, I still wish that i got to know him a little better. My dad always used to say how much of a great person he was, and I fully believe it. I hope that you all are doing well. I hope to see you soon. Love, Cheryl
