To My dearest aunt Christine, I wish I had the chance to tell you I love you one last time. Growing up with you and the boys are memories I will always cherish forever. You gave us joy and laughter, the best part was your homemade gifts and Combing our hair. You were the key of happiness and now you are at peace. I love you!
To Steve (bless your heart; may angels attend to you , in special ways, at this time), … and all of your wonderful family:
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers, and will remain so.
