Dear Aunt Edie,

We were very saddened to learn of Uncle Fred's passing last week. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the wake or funeral being so recent to the unexpected death of my own father (Norman Shim) and his memorial on May 10th. Please know that all of our thoughts, love & prayers are with you and the rest of the family at this time. We'll always remember Uncle Fred as we saw him last June, sunning himself in our backyard on a lawnchair! :)



Passing time can never fade

All the special memories made;

Loved ones never really part

For they live inside your heart.



With love,

Clint, Donna, John & Sarah Elischer
