To my Cousins,

I share in the grief and loss of my Uncle Sam and my Confirmation Godfather. I have many very happy childhood memories our family picnics and Christmas holidays together. Now he is at peace and together with Aunt Mae, Uncle John, Aunt Georgia and Aunt Vicki. God bless his soul. Love, Jerome and Family.
