Uncle Auggie, it's so hard to say good-bye to someone I loved and admired for so many years. One of the many things I loved about you was your smile. Your smile welcomed people and made them feel at home. I'll miss you so much. Give my love to the others, especially Chita and Papa Tin. Let them know that they're still loved and thought of. "Good nite happy dreams and cheepity cheep". Your niece Joyce
