Dear Bubby,
I am so sorry about Uncle Harry passing. Mother,Donna &I visited with him last summer and he was so alert and smiling and could recall who we were by our voice. He was small in statue but big in heart and his love for you and the rest of his family. How all were blessed that he was with us for 91 years.
Love you, Karen

"Old Boy" and Susan,

I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Woodbury. You can take great comfort in knowing that you took such good care of him and he knew it! He could not have asked for a better son. Now I'm sure he is dancing with his bride! My condolences to your entire family.
