    Uncle Elsie and family,
    I’m so sorry to hear about Aunt Gracie. I have so many fond memories of her, especially the time I was able to see you here in Germany. Even though it was a short visit, it meant so much to me to have “family” see my part of the world. She will be deeply missed. My prayers are with you.
