Eddie, Debbie, BJ and Butch, I am so sorry for your loss. I have thought over the days about the early days and growing up together, the holidays, and fun times of being together back then. So many memories and so long ago. It has saddened me that as a family because of life's circumstances and changes in our lives we have drifted apart the memories remain and I am thankful for them and for being able to have had an Aunt like, your Mom. She was so fun to be around and so kind to me. I wish I could be there to share the memories and support each of you in person. I want you to know I have thought about all of not just during this time but through the years and have kept you in mind and in prayer. During this time I of course will continue to do so. I am sorry for the loss of your Mom and for Butch of his sister. God bless you, I love and miss each of you.
Curt
