Dear Aunty Jean,
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Chet's passing. I will always remember the few trips my family made to Buffalo and visiting with you. You were both so kind and showed my sister and I so much love. Although our trips have been few and far between, you have always been in my thoughts and prayers through the years. This world has lost a truly wonderful man. My family and I extend our condolences. God bless.

I am so sorry to hear of Chet's passing. I believe he and my mom, Marion Sullivan, were cousins. She passed quite a while ago so I know your grief. Remember the good times - I'm sure they'll bring a smile. (I'll always think of my wedding cake he made.) With sympathy.
