Dear Uncle Ed-I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Jane's death. Like Cheryl, I remember with great fondness all the great holidays we had as a family, and what fun it was growing up just down the street. Aunt Jane made every day special. I hope that her memory will continue to make each day special for you, Bobby, Kathy, Carol, and Jimmy. All my love and sympathy. Nancy Lauten [[email protected]]

My husband Walter and I extend our deepest sympathies to your family on the passing of Aunt Ella Jane. I remember every Christmas Eve watching her her warm, slow smile spread across the room to greet everyone. Words cannot make your sorrow any easier to bear, but hopefully they can show how deeply others sympathize and care about you.
