    To my Aunt MAxine and the boys,
    I can only imagine how you all feel during this dreadful time. I can only offer you all my love and support as I am all to far away. You have all been dealing with such a difficult time with the passing of Tammy, 5 weeks ago. Then you loose your father/husband. The time is rough and difficult and you wonder how can I deal with all this. You have strength and courage through each other and each others shoulder you will all come together in this most difficult time. Love you all and think of you always Kim.
