Uncle Bobby tell Daddy and my Mom I miss them both very much. When I think of you I always remember the warm loving smile you always had for Spike's kids. I know we were all not around each other that much but everyone was always in our thoughts and always in conversation.
Warm and Loving thoughts, Susan
