Dear Aunt Hattie, Dave, Dan, and Dean,
I was so sad to hear about Uncle Dave. My memories of him are of a warm, friendly face with a ready smile. The picture in the paper suits that memory well.
My mother was in Dever when this happened, but I called her, and we talked a little bit. Many memories came back to her, and I enjoyed listening to her share them. Your dad was a good big brother to my mom.
I'm sorry for your loss and will keep all of you in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Lynne(Moser)Green
