Dear Aunt Shirley, Karen, Suzy, Diane and family, I will miss my Uncle Nick greatly. My deepest sympathies to you all. His memory is firmly etched in my mind and his memory will be eternal to everyone he touched. The family gatherings were always something special to me and Uncle Nick always made us laugh so hard. His love and energy filled the room. My thoughts are with you all.

Dear Shirley & family,
Heard the sad news of Lam's passing from your nephew, Bob Winterfield. We have fond memories of Lam, one of them of him break dancing at our wedding. My mom, Jean, has been reminiscing about the good times she and my late dad shared with you, Georgia, Harry, and Lynn at the Jersey shore. We are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
