Aunt Adelaide,

I didn't know you, and might possibly have only seen you one or twice in my life, but I want you to know that by way of my mother and sister having visited you several times over the past few years I feel as if I do know you and want you to know that I love you and hope to see you in the hereafter.

Lovingly,

Your Great-Nephew and brother's namesake, Harley
