Aunt Margie and family,
I am so sorry about Victor. When I think of him, I think of the fun we had as kids. The last couple of conversations I had with him, even though he was sick, he was just as crazy as ever and still made me laugh. I am sorry I missed the funeral. I was out of town and did not know he was gone until I got back late Saturday. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
