Dear Aunt Evelyn: My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I know that your time with Uncle Chuck was too short, and that he will be missed by you, his children, his grandchildren, and the rest of the family. I spoke to him back in May. He called me after I sent him a card, and we enjoyed a long conversation that I am really glad we had. I plan on driving down for the funeral tomorrow. I will see you then. Your niece, Christine Tunanidis
