Aunt Ruth

Dear Dan,

We just got a call from Uncle Bill. Aunt Ruth died this evening. I'm sure you've already greeted her; please say hello for me. Let her know how much she will be missed by those she has left behind.

She and Uncle Bill were childhood sweethearts. The only time they were apart was when he was in the service. Ruth was such a sweet and unfailingly kind woman. The past several years have been tough on them both. Arthritis crippled her hands so badly she has been unable to dress herself.

Now she will have full use of her hands again, Please hug Ruth for me.

I love you, bro.
