Katie, I think you may remember us but maybe not James, Ryan or Matthew. You were just too little when we were attending your baptisms, and your special birthday parties. We enjoyed being with you and your dad and mom so much. We had such fun with all the activities we did together. Our sincere sympathy for your loss.

Harry, David, and I spent our childhoods together. They were like brothers to me. I have fond memories of vacations, birthdays, Christmas, graduations, weddings, and babies. There were also the sadder times when we lost our parents. Now dear Harry is gone to heaven. I will always miss him.
With my deepest condolences,
Leone
