Dear Eddie, Gwen Our heart
Dear Eddie, Gwen
Our heart is filled with sadness at your loss of Aunt Irene. We can not imagine the pain you feel now but we wanted to let you know that our loving thoughts are with you.
We can only say how much we will miss Aunt Irene as well. No words can express how much a part of your life Aunt Irene was, and will always be, we're sure, and be held in your hearts forever.
Aunt Irene was more than our Aunt, she was our friend. Although distance and time took us in different directions through life, she was always close to us. Even though the time we spent with Aunt Irene was all too infrequent, when we were together our bonds were reinforced by the simplest of hugs, or a kiss on the cheek.
God gave us a true Aunt that remains with us through the rest of our lives, so close yet not with us in body any longer.
I know you would call if there is anything at all we can do, but we just wanted to let you know that we are here for you regardless of day or night.
You and Aunt Irene are in our thoughts and prayers, Rob Ferguson, Lynn and kids, Tyrone Ferguson, Marie and kids, Kristina Newman, and Travis Newman
