Dear Aunt Chrissy,
Yours is the first online "guest book" I ever felt prompted to write something in. From the day we were born, my 5 brothers and sisters held you and Uncle Alex in so much esteem and affection. We loved you, so much.
I wish I'd known you were ill; but I think the reason I didn't is because you would never ever tell us about anything that was troubling you. My mother will miss you so much, but I know you will see each other again some day.
Say hello to Uncle Alex for us--we all remember him so well and so fondly.
Love always,
Barbara
