Aunt Diane,
My deepest sympathy to you and my cousins. I am so glad that I got to see my uncle before he passed away. I know that my dad and Uncle Bennie are now sharing stories with each other. My uncle is probably designing a new entry gate into heaven and my dad can hardly wait to build it. You are in my prayers.

sorry mom, It has to be hard. I love you. Kristie isn coming out to see you in mid july. love cindy
