Aunt Norma, Linda, Jean, Sidney and Loretta,

I am sorry to hear the sad news about uncle Victor. I enjoyed so much talking to him at mom's funeral in November. It was like stepping back in time and talking to my own dad...they were so much alike in every way. He was so cute! I laughed when he asked Ashley, "So when are they breaking out the drinks?" That was so funny to me! We will keep you all in our prayers. I Love You...stay in touch. Susan, Randy, Ashley and Laura
