Aunt Florence,

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I will always remember the wonderful hugs from Uncle Earl during family reunions.

I will never forget the time you, Uncle Earl, and Granny took me and my college room-mate, Mayumi to see the country show. We had so much fun!

My husband, Greg, enjoyed seeing him at the reunions as well. He liked his stories. We will both miss him.

I'm glad that God took his pain away. Mom and Uncle Frank will keep him company until we can all have a big reunion in heaven.

Love you,
Jessica and Greg Bouras
