Dear Mary and Family,
I've been thinking about you this past month as our 30 year high school reunion is next Saturday Aug. 2. I thought about all fun and memories of our high school days. I didn't expect your name to come up in the newspaper this week though. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Mark lost his mother "Alice" two years ago so I know what you're going through. I remember all those times getting ready in your basement to go out for the night and your father would just shake...

Dear Aunt Linda and Cousins,

When Mom called me I was so shocked but I know Uncle John is at peace now. Uncle John has always been one of my favorite Uncles. I am so glad I got to see Uncle John at Mom and Dad's party last year. Anut Linda, I will always have memories of you and Uncle John together. I know Brian will miss golfing with him at the family reunions. I wish I could be there for you all at this difficult time but I'm glad Mom and Dad are down there for you. I know...

Dear Aunt Linda and Family,

After just returning from Buffalo to attend a wedding, we received a call from my Mom to inform us of the sad news of Uncle John's death.

We will always remember Uncle John as a very special and caring person and as a very devoted husband and father. May you keep all of your fond memories of him close to heart,...

Dear Auntie Linda and family,

As Sandy, Bruce, and Phil wrote of their memories, I remember the family reunion at Uncle Elmer's house (quite some time ago)and how much fun we had. I wish we would have kept them going. It was nice seeing you when Gram passed away. I remember seeing you and Uncle John walking through the door at the funeral home and Uncle John...

Dear Aunt Linda and Family,
I am really saddened by the passing of Uncle John. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I can only remember many good times with you and Uncle John. I remember my Dad and I visiting you guys on Davidson Street in Buffalo-and how excited I was when Uncle John gave me some of his old softball jerseys. I remember visiting again with Dad when you lived on Poinciana and Uncle John taking me to the playground to hone my basketball skills-the memories are...
