Dear Joe, Bill, Mike, John, Sue and Nancy and all your families,
We just wanted to say how sorry we were to hear about Aunt Annie and we wanted to send you our sympathies and condolences.
It was 8 years and one day that Annie passed away after her brother, Leo. And, at the time she was in Elimra and Athens with Aunt Katie when he died. So, she had been able to see him a couple of days before that and the three of them, Annie, Katie and Leo sat on my parent's back porch and talked and remembered some of the things they did growing up in Elmira Heights.
She was at my Dad's funeral, and it was good to see her then.
You and all your families are in our thoughts and prayers at this time and may God give you peace and comfort.
Sincerely and with love,
Judy, Jim and Betty
