Dear Mr. Uzzle, Johnny and Joe,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your Mom, Johnny and Joe, and your loving wife, Mr. Uzzle.
I'll always remember the many good times we all had as kids on Jefferson St. and Jefferson Place.
My dear husband died this past June so I know the loss you are feeling. I'll be moving back to Virginia soon and hopefully we can touch base then.
Again, may God bless you and keep you in His heart.
Sincerely,
Anne Marie (Gormley) Hopkins
