Dear Aunt Dolly,
My mother (Julia), my brother (George) and I (Debra) are all thinking of you at this time of loss. I will always remember Uncle Bruno’s visits to Pittsfield, MA to visit Nanny. I have fond memories of him and always will. Just remember that the one’s we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. May your memories help you through this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you on this sad day.

Forever,
All my love,
