Dear, Konetzni Family
I'm so sorry to hear about Kyle's passing. Kyle and I used to play together as kids when we lived in Annapolis, Maryland. I remember lots of fun times that we had and what a good friend he was. I wish I had known him when he was older. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Take care.

Our son Patrick used to play with Kyle when we were living in Annapolis. For the past few years Pat has been looking for Kyle on the Internet. I remember what a great little boy he was and how I always liked him. We thought he would grow up to be a pretty special adult because he started out pretty special. Pat only found Kyle through this notice. I am so sorry for your lost.
Sincerely,
