Uncle Steve,

We were so sorry to hear about Aunt Harriets Passing. Sorry we couldn't make it to the wake but my wife just had some surgery and she couldn't make the drive yet and I didn't want to leave her alone for so long. We said a prayer for Aunt Harriet and one for you too, take care of yourself. see you soon. Ross, Kristie, and Dane Solak
