Dear Betty Ann:
Sorry to hear about Uncle Hugh. I remember some really good times in Buffalo when he came to live with us for a while. I always go by the house on the hill and always remember that he built it.
I'm grateful for the times I was able to get to Bristol. I will miss Uncle Hugh as well was Grandma. Please keep in touch.
Love,
Betsy

I was saddened to hear of Uncle Hugh’s passing. He was a really good guy and we used to have a lot of fun together when he lived in Norwich. One of my fondest memories as a young boy was a day spent with Uncle Hugh and Uncle Don. I will keep you all in my prayers.
