Dear Pat, Gia, Tara, and Family,

Dear Aunt Pat, I was so sad when I heard the news about Uncle Ronnie. He was always so nice to me and I can't ever remember a time when I visited and he wasn't having a laugh. I just wanted you to know how special you and your family are to me and I will be praying for you

Dear Pat and family,

I am writing this to you from England where I heard the dreadful news about Ronnie. Charles was shocked when Norma called him and he contacted me immediately. We are heartbroken for you and the girls. Ronnie was a kind and loving man with a great sense of humor and made us always feel warm and welcome whenever we met. Charles, James, Wiley, and I send you our warmest thoughts and our wishes for strength and peace during this sad time.

Love, Frances
