Dear Bob and Family,

It's so sad to read of someone you love who has passed away, this being Loretta, my dear cousin. There were many fun times I had with Loretta, Aunt Helen, Uncle Billy, and Adeline. Aunt Helen was like a mother to me growing up. I can remember being a bridesmaid in your wedding with Adeline and Connie. It was such a special day!
My loving husband Harry passed away on January 13, 2011, so I can imagine what you are going through Bob. Just remember that we have a lot of good memories of our loved ones to hold on to.
Bob, you and your family are in my prayers.

Sincerely with Love,
Cousin Jean ( Calacurcio ) Sundine
