Dear Dick, Donna & Roberta;
I just received word of Aunt Myrna's passing and want to send you all my deepest sympathy. I remember fondly all the great times I had running across the alley to see you all. Aunt Myrna was always there working on some new craft or coming up with something fun for us to do.
My Mom, Dad & Eddie send you their condolences too. I think of days gone by and wonder how you are doing. I hope that life has been good to you all.
With much love and sympathy,
Your cousin Nancy
