I just wish I could be there to say goodbye to my Uncle Nat. I miss him so much. I just wish that I had seen him recently. Uncle David, I know you realize how much he meant to everyone around him, he was such a wonderful person. We will always miss him, there is no way anyone could ever forget how great he was. But I also know that, instead of us being sad that he's not here anymore, he'd want us to be happy that he was.

Love, Maddie

David: I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Campbell told me that Nat had been seriously ill for several years. He also told me that you've seen to your dad's needs and his welfare during his illness. You're a good son, and I know you dad appreciated it.

Fondly, Susan
