Dearest cousin Joe,
With all of my heart I was saddened by the loss of your wife. I think we met once some 35 yrs. ago. I remembering liking her when we met back then. I am happy that you had so many years to share with her; it must have been something very special you two had. Now you have your children and grandchild. Please accept my deep sympathy at your loss and know that we may not speak or see each other but I do care and remember our "growing up" years with a smile on my face; especially looking at the old photo's. Memories are special and I am sure you have plenty from the last 37 yrs.
Love,
Vikki

Thomas Merton, the great Trappist monk, wrote of death:
"It's where the hills end and the stars begin." Paula's "hills" are over now. It's her time to be with the "stars" and their Maker.
In the praying I am doing you are with me, and the Lord is with you...especially now.
