Deepest sympathy. From your cousin koleta
So sorry for the loss of one if our family members to this awful virus.
Our heart and thoughts go to Dean’s family at this hard time. As one of Dean’s first cousins I have fond memories when I was young boy when we visited the farm house. Being the same age, Dean and I played non-stop, in fact, I remember a really cool red toy fire-truck that saved that farm house.
Dearest Emily, Our sincerest condolences to you and the Dean family. Our prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Vernessa, Jacquelin and Marie.
