Hi Martha,
I only knew you a short time, but I came to love and appreciate your kindness. I looked forward to coming to Roanoke to spend time with you and enjoyed your short stay here with us.
Love,

Hey Aunt Martha,
Happy birthday and Happy New Year! I miss you terribly. Every time I see a new animated movie or try a new recipe I wish I could call and talk to you about it. Every New Year's Eve, when the clock strikes I wish you a happy birthday and new year! I miss calling you to do that but I know you still hear me. Thank you for watching and shining over all of us. I know some day we'll be together again.
Love,
George

Hey Sis,
Happy b-day! There was never a time that you missed one of my birthdays and I could not let this day go without me telling you how much you are truly missed. You will always be in my heart and I know as I sit here tonight you are looking down with that big smile. You have been such an instrumental part of my life.
Love,
Diane
