Hi from Cousin Kyle ... I hope all of you are hanging in there as we are here...such a loss of loved ones. There is some comfort knowing Wink and Dana could be together again somehow. We put our dog Mandy to sleep on the 22nd and with all 3 deaths in such a short time, I just feel like a mess, but we are doing good considering. I think of you all and will contact you soon. If Wink Jr is reading this, could you please email me and send me your address and/or phone number ... or anyone could...

I am proud to be my father's son. I will miss you dad. I will miss your words of encouragement, your reprisals, your sense of humor and our talks about us and family. Although, we occasionally differed in our views and opinions we still respected each other. I'll never forget your first experience with wasabi, I told you it was too much. Norma and I will miss Thanksgiving dinner with you but we hope Jean will still come. I have so much more to ask you and so much more to tell you that...

I hope it helps.
