Dear Family,
I'm glad that I've gotten to be apart of this family, and I'm sorry for the sudden loss of Uncle James. At least now he is in no more pain. Let us all take comfort in knowing that now we have another special gaurdian angel to watch over us. I just know that James and Marie are having a good laugh up in heaven. Judy please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. If I can I will. Love you.

Dear Judith,
I am so sorry to hear about Jimmy. He was such a good boy when I worked with him at Albertsons. Although it has been a few years back I remember him so well. Please remember that you and your family are in our thoughts.
