Carol,

My sympathies to you for your loss.

I enjoyed spending time as a kid with Aunt Gladys and Uncle Howard; our mother still enjoys the portraits from her of David and me.

Oh, Aunt Gladys and her Green Goop! We sure missed you and Uncle Howard at Holidays; playing the piano or organ with Uncle Howard and you, holding all the recently born babies in the family. Some how you managed to calm the little ones down. P. S. Thank you for my portrait. Rest in Peace
