Dear Aunt Leona and cousins Donna, Susan, James, and Charles:
I am so sad to learn of Uncle Don’s passing. I have many fond memories of our years growing up together. Unfortunately, as we got older and our families became more segmented after the passing of Grandma and Grandpa Barber, we did not get to see much of each other. I always enjoyed getting Aunt Leona’s holiday letter updating me on all of you and your families. Her last letter saddened me to learn that she and Uncle Don had moved to an assisted living facility. To Aunt Leona, I extend my sincerest condolence on behalf of my family on the passing of Uncle Don. To my cousins Donna, Susan, James, and Charles; I share your feeling of loss (having lost both of my parents in recent years) and know how difficult it can be to see one another as each of us get older and our families grow, eventually leaving each of us to be the head of our own families, without the binding presence of our parents. I wish each of you and your families all of the best life has to give.
