Dear Joyce, Bobby and Michael,

I can not tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

Although your mom is no longer with us, I will never lose her because she has always been part of who I am...My family, my Aunty Irene. And she, along with Uncle Buddy and Uncle Jordy, will always be in my Sunday prayers as they have been for as far back as I can remember.

I consider myself blessed to have been so deeply loved by both of your parents. A gift that I will always cherish and now share with my own children.

Joyce, Bob, and Michael,
My deepest sympathy to you. She was a wonderful person and will never be forgotten by those who knew her. I know I have been distant from the family... but she was always near to my heart. She was so important to my mother - I think she will miss her enough for all of us:) I loved my Auntie Irene and I will miss her too. Much love to you all, your cousin Laurie.

I share the same thoughts as were written by my family but would like to send a personal note. Both your parents were wonderful people, with warm hearts and genuine kindness.
