Bruce and Bob, I can't express how sorry I am to hear about Uncle Speed and Aunt Lil. It is hard enough to lose one parent but losing both is devastating. Even though I hadn't seen them in a long time, I thought about them constantly and was looking forward to visiting them when I came up in the spring. It just goes to show you that we need to keep family close because they could be gone sooner then we want. Know that they will be with you always. I loved them very much. Much love to you and your families. Hope to see you soon.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire family on the loss of your parents. We know they will truly be missed. Their passing so close together must be very difficult for your family. I didn't know your parents very well, but I know they were good people and good neighbors. They were very special to my brother, Santo, and their friendship was important to him. He always spoke highly of them. They will be missed by all.
How you can show support

I wish to extend my family's deepest sympathy to the family of Uncle Speed. I know that he was greeted with open arms from his family when he approached the gates. Though our paths haven't crossed much in the past years, for what ever the reason, Uncle Speed and his family have always been in our thoughts. We missed you all. I will miss his sense of humor and his unique laugh but most of all we will miss him. Peace be with you Uncle Speed. Be sure to say "Hi" for us and tell them all we miss them too.
You will always be in our thoughts.
