To the Eli Yutzy family.
Just a word of encouragement to you... My Yutzy roots have always been special and Mom's cousin Eli was always an ispiration to me when I was young... and I will always remember Aunt Sue with fondness.
Today, Dad, Grandpa... is no longer here, but his legacy continues and is now in your hands.
May God be really near to each of you as you work through this time of grief.
