Dear Don, Tom, Gary, Kathy, Pam,
Our hearts go out to you. Please accept our deepest sympathy. I miss your Dad. He was fun. We had many good laughs together.
Your Mom was one of the kindest, nicest persons I ever got to know. I miss her and our talks on the phone and letters.
She gave to you and you, yourselves, were gifts to her and your Dad.
God Bless You,
Jesus Loves You,
Love and Prayers,
Aunt Geri and Family
( Roy, Sue, Mike, Liz )
P.S.
Aunt Pat's children call me Aunt Geri.
That's why I didn't sign "cousin Geri...." but whatever you feel comfortable with, is fine with me.

Our deepest heart felt smpathy to Uncle Tom's family. As with Aunt Marge, we'll miss Uncle Tom dearly. They will "ALWAYS" be in our hearts...there are so many great memories!! As my husband Rich has named Uncle Tom years ago as "Mr. Excitement" I still remember the day he told Uncle Tom that was his new name, and we all laughed and Uncle Tom's reply was "yep, that's me". To Uncle Tom and Aunt Marge: We love both of you so much.
All our Love, Rich/Laureen/Meagan/Kelly Eigenbuaer
