Dear Nick:
I am sorry to hear of Uncle Carlos. I wish you would have let me know in time to travel there. Uncle Carlos loved his red carnations when he dressed up in his tux. I will always remember him and his sage advice. I am so sad and wish you peace in your heart. Mom will now have her favorite brother with her. Please call me when you get some time. Blessings always.
