Deepest Sympathy on the loss of your mother. Looking at the picture in the obituary, we were amazed at the family resemblance between the two of us.
I regret that we never had the chance to get to know each other.

My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of Aunt Flossie. I have a lot of memories of her and Uncle Nathan, (especially practicing and playing softball). It seems as tho, this month has taken too many of our family members from us. The older generations have become us, now isn't that scary. I love all of you, God Bless and keep you.
