Dear Cousins,

I am so saddened by the loss of your Dad, and my uncle. I am so glad I got to see him when he came with Robert to Oshkosh, WI. Most of my memories of your Dad are from my very early childhood---a long time ago now. It is sad that life moves along at such a pace that it is hard to take off enough time to visit, even close relatives.

Chris & Jenny---I have never met you. We have a few photos of you from your school days.

Robert---I don't know if I have your address right. That was one of the last things I asked Bob for---how to get in contact with all of you.

Love To All of You,

If you find this note, please get a hold of me:

My prayers are with you all. May your hearts be healed soon--leaving loads of room for all the joyful, precious, loving memories of your father/grandfather.

Matthew 5:4.
