Dear "Auntie Ann and Uncle Phil",
How often I have wondered through the years how you both were. Always feeling sorry that we all lost touch. I still remember all of the good times we spent together with you and my family. I remember having Sunday dinner with your big family at your mother's house. I still remember that day after all these years. You and Uncle Phil were always so wonderful to my brothers and myself when we were kids. I also remember spending a week with you. You took me shopping and I thought I was such a big girl because I was spending the week at your house without my other family members. I will cherish the memories. God Bless your family.
