Dear Don and Family Members:

My sister Deborah who lives in Florida sent this to me. I'm Clare's niece, the daughter of Alfred Ernst. I send my prayers to you Don and only wish I could have met my Aunt Clare. I would like to renew the family ties with her children, who I remember when I too lived in Hamilton before my parents parted path.
May the Lord bless you and care for you during this difficult time.
