To Ted, Susan, Ron and families:
I will always have many happy memories of the times I spent with you and your parents, June and Bill, on the Padua farm growing up. I especially remember the Christmas mornings, all of us together, sitting in that huge kitchen, eating June's special Christmas morning Maine oyster stew and the beautiful Christmas tree, decorated in blue and metallic balls.( At least one year, there was also a live rabbit peeking out from under its branches.) Shep, the collie dog, the old "Gramma" cat ,children laughing, a Norman Rockwell Christmas card created by Bill and June ,my big brother and sister-in-law, who were like second parents to me during that time of childhood so long ago. They're both gone now, but those happy memories remain. May they comfort you in this sad time.
Love,
Aunt Bonnie
and Uncle Eric
