'Dear Mike, Bruce, and Paul,
We send loving thoughts and prayers to you and your families. We visited with Uncle Colin in 2010 at his Aunt Anne's 100th birthday celebration in Florida. It was the first time my family had been introduced to him, and it was a grand time. My daughters were in middle school, and Uncle Colin, sharing his camera and being his jovial self, took right to them.
Wishing we could be there with you.
Sincerely,
Karen, Sam, Aubrey, Emma and Margaret Davis'
