Uncle Art (My Godfather)--
We have been thinking of you and your family over the last couple of months -
-- Your family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. --
I remember Aunt Carole & Uncle Art coming to the Pittman home farm in Little Arkansaw Valley in Wisconsin - It was the "big city" cousins coming to the rural farm - and what a blast we had! Aunt Carole my God mother - always had that special laugh and that sparkle in her eyes as she always called me "Jeannie" when we would visit. Aunt Carole you will always be remembered in my heart as that "Favorite Special Aunt" forever!
Love always -
