Aunt Terri, Marie and Doreen,

I was sorry to hear the news about Uncle Dinny. I wish I could have made it down to be with all of you in person, but I am certainly with you in spirit. I will always cherish all the fun we had with Uncle Dinny, the Chicago Bears, and the N. E. Patriots over the years, not to mention the Stoughton/Canton Thanksgiving Game!!!

Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope to be in touch soon.

Love Paul, Mary, Kristen & Keith, Kara and Katie.
