Chuck, Ellen, Mitchel and Cassie,

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Flynn's words of wisdom that he gave to Cassie, Mitchel and myself, and how Delores could always make him smile when she came in. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember often going to visit Aunt Nellie when we were young -- Jim and Ethel, Rita and Kathie were all lovely and friendly hosts. My condolences at Jim's death to all the family, of whom my mom, Kay McDonald, was very fond.
