Dear Allan, Murray, Denise and Joe:
I was very sorry to hear about the passing away of Aunt Clara. While it has been some time since I last saw her, I still have fond memories of visits as a youngster. She was a woman with strong family values, and I feel privileged to have had her as a God Mother.
You have our deepest sympathy.
