Aunt Nell and Sammy,
I am so sorry about Uncle Johny's passing. He was about as entertaining as it gets. I will always cherish the times we spent fishing under that bridge. The pig story he used to tell was nothing but classic. It's starting to eat at me that I didnt try to spend some time with him the last 5 years or so. You are in my thoughts and prayers. If theres anything you need just say so.
Kyle, Penny and Brad

Dear Nell, I was so saddened when Betty told me of Johnny's sudden death. You and Sammy are in our thoughts and prayers. What fun we had at the Fair the last few years. I always looked forward to your family and ours together. You and "your Johnny" were a delight to be with. Oh the stories he could tell. Much love, Helena and Dominic Vivona
