Dear Uncle George and all my Cousins. Im so sorry I could not make it to Virginia during this difficult time, and to pay final respects to Aunt Chrissy. I am very happy that I was able to see her one last time last spring at the wedding, and have a recent memory of her that I can hold on to forever. When possible it would be great to meet up with everyone and share our memories of her together and catch up on things. So sorry, sending all my best regards and prayers. Greg Kalinowski
