Dear Aunt Tuddy, Eileen & Kathy,
We are so sad to learn of Uncle Michael's passing. How fortunate we did get to see him recently--his effort to come to Mom's wake and funeral will always be appreciated in our hearts. Please accept our deepest condolences and sincere regret that we will not be able to come back to NJ for the viewing/funeral. Unfortunately, in these times, we have to hold on to our jobs. We will be there in spirit however, and will hold you all in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and God Bless. Love Jeannie and Rod
