Dear Cousins,
We loved Uncle Tom and Aunt Lucy more than you know. The love,and laughter we shared on all times together,were true blessings in our lives. We will love you thru the grief, and point you in the direction of our heavenly Lord, when there are no human words than can console. Love you all forever. Chris and Laurie

Uncle Tom - What a team you and Aunt Lu were - I will always remember the get-to-gethers on Downing St. And the horse shoes in Eden, Hamburg, and Buffalo. I know there are pits in Heaven and you are tossing them "lefty."
