Uncle Bill and Family,
Jo Ann and I were so thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with both of you a couple of summers ago even if it was only for a short overnight visit. As was always the case, I felt as welcome as I did when I was a kid visiting for the summer almost 60 years ago!
I'm so happy that Aunt Marian had a chance to meet Jo Ann so that she could get a sense of the connection that I have enjoyed for so many years. We got to share some of the memories of my childhood of which both of you were such an important part for both Pat and me.
As I said to Uncle Bill yesterday, even though it's heaven and although you might expect it to be "perfect," it would be completely in character for Aunt Marian to decide to get there ahead to check things out and get things spruced up, ready and "just right". Just don't be in a hurry, Uncle Bill, because she may need the extra time!
Love,
Tom
