To my Uncle Elton and Aunt Elaine, we send you our heartfelt condolences for the loss of Joseph. I can remember holding him when he was a baby and recall the many photos of him that you sent me, both when I was in the U.S. and since Ive moved away. With my wife Ada and daughter Pauline, we looked over his photos yesterday and I read about the accident on internet. Were very sorry to lose a cousin and an "uncle" for Pauline. I also feel the loss of one of the Augusts. We'll try to be in touch again soon. -- Steve, Ada and Pauline
