Auntie,

I was so sad to hear of Uncle Napoleon's passing - it rustled up many happy childhood memories for me - especially like the times when he would bring the opposing football team to Meath Park and then he and Papa would have a great old time in the stands!! Please know that my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
