Dear Aunt Kay,
I am so saddened by Uncle Tom's passing. I know he had a good life and raised four great kids with you but it's just too soon. Of course, it's always too soon. I would like to think he still had lots of things to accomplish and places to see. I'm sure you wanted to see those places with him.

I know your family is giving you great comfort at this time, and will continue to be there for you. Treasure every moment with them while you remember and miss your husband. You will be reunited one day and find renewed love together.

Hug the family for me.

Remembering all the laughter and fun times we all shared, and when we first met. Love, Thom and Maria Buther
