  3. I am so sorry that I can’t be there today to express my condolences in person–I missed all of you at Dad’s service (bad timing on my part) but please know that my sympathy is with all of my cousins and their families. Having spent time with your parents at the recent Joslyn weddings, I remembered all the fun times we had growing up together and your Mom’s contagious laugh. A loss of both parents so close together is such a hard thing. I believe that both my parents and yours are up there together remembering all of the great times we all had together and looking down on all of us. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
