Aunt Nancy, Jenna, April & Caroline,

I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Victor was a great man...one thing I will always remember about him is that crazy mustache he had when we were kids and I'll forever be greatful that he and Aunt Nancy were able to attend my wedding. It's memories like this that will make each day brighter.
Love, Sandy
