Dear Rita, Paul and family,
Our sincere sympathy to you all in the loss of your father William.
We would have attended the services but were not informed until Sunday. We remember the kindnesses William expressed to my mother and his annual Christmas cards with an inspiritual message. Our sympathy also extends to cousins Richard and Fred as we remember the good times we all had on Auburndale Ave.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. A donation will be made to the Kidney Foundation.
Love,
Cousin Dolly
