Dear Aunt Doris, Karen, Mike, Karla, John and families—

We deeply mourn the loss of our beloved uncle. He was gentle, kind, elegant, gracious, funny and fun. He set an example for all of us of loving patience. I know how much my Mom and Dad loved him and are caring for him in Heaven.
I fondly remember our many family dinners and celebrations, with Uncle Abe entertaining us telling joke after joke. We hope we can celebrate his life with you soon.
Much love
Linda Hallmark
