Dear Aunt Rose and Family,

I will always remember the fun and good times our families shared at your house and ours during my lifetime.

I also remember,and am deeply thankful for Uncle Joe's help and generosity in selecting my wedding dress material,trim,veiling and headpiece. I think of him every time I look at the photos.

Mom and Dad talked often of the great times the four of you shared over the last 60 plus years. Uncle Joe will now join my parents, and wait for you to complete the foursome once AGAIN... Love and Prayers,

Janey
