Uncle Mikie,
It has been three weeks now without you and I think about you everyday. This holiday season will not be the same since you are not here. We all miss you and love you very much. It is so hard to believe that you are no longer with us. I know it sounds selfish but I wish you were still here. But you are not longer suffering and you are with Grandpa. Rest in peace and we will see each other again.
Love
Brandy

Dear Marge,
I am so sorry I was not there for you on Monday. I don't get the Prov Journal and I had no idea Mikey was not doing well. I would have came right down to see him. I can't tell you how upset I am. Diane just e-mailed me that my dear friend is no longer with us. I wanted to have you over this summer along with David and Diane to reminisce about good times. Why is it at times like these you realize what really should matter?
Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Anything I can do for you please, please, please let me know.
