I am so sorry to hear about Grandma Jo´s passing. Even though it´s been many years since we last spent time with each other, the memories I have from my childhood [with all of you] are still vivid and special - they´ve stayed with me all this time and always will.

Please know I´m thinking of you during this time, and I hope we can stay in touch moving forward.

With heartfelt condolences,

Craig (Valine)
