Hi, Uncle Tom. I've been thinking about you as I've been working on getting my mom's affairs in order. I'm sure you two have met again. It's not hard to know when Roz has arrived. I'm sorry you both had to suffer so much to earn your rewards, but it is surely better now. Please tell Ma, my father John, Ann, Tony and Joe how much we love them and miss them. I guess they already know. Your loving nephew, John
