Mrs. Baker, Jeanie, Teresa, Lee and family:
Even though many years have passed since we've seen each other, I wanted you to know that I still love you all, and have so many wonderful memories of growing up at your home with Teresa. You always made me feel special and loved, and treated me like one of your own children. Mr. Baker was such a special Husband, Father and Grandfather. Heaven is a little brighter today because of their new Angel. May the Lord comfort you in the days ahead.
Love Always,
