Dear Rosie,

I am so very sorry about the passing of your dear son. Do you remember me? I used to work with you and Gladys many years ago at McBride and Baker. I remember my time working with you very fondly. My dad just passed, also, and I noticed your son's obituary in the paper at the same time. I am so very sorry for your loss. I will pray for him and you and your family.

Sincerely,



Laurie Czizik

Dear Catbum,

You left us a little too soon. And a little too unexcpectedly. To say we'll miss you is not enough. The new place should be allergy-free so you should be able to enjoy all those things (cats included) that you couldn't here. And we'll keep an eye on Rosie and Jackie for you...



Love,

Carol and Shigeru
