Aunt Marlene,

I am so sad that another aunt/uncle has passed. I’m so sorry I haven’t called you or sent you back a Christmas card. I just hope you know that I love you. Thank you for coming to my wedding. Thank you for calling and sending me cards every year. Give my daddy a kiss in heaven. We will all be together again. That is the hope we have in our faith.
