Dear Chuck and Betty,
How sorry I am to hear about Aunt Eva's passing. So many remembrances flood my memories of family gatherings, her laughter, her gentleness. She carried herself with a presence unlike anyone else in the family. Last year, Cecilia and I got lost driving back from NC to OH and found ourselves near Ashland. So we searched for and found your house. We laughed at the stories and very fond memories of the time Cecilia spent there and of our times together. I hope your memories of and love for Aunt Eva carry you all through this time of loss.
