"I am sorry that we will not have any more lunches. I love you so so much. I know you have been my cousin but you have been more like an Aunt whom I loved as a Mother. I will miss you very much. I am looking to seeing you and Manny in heaven with Dad and Mary Ellen and all of our relatives. As a younger man thank you for keeping me out of trouble at Marshall. I wished I live closer as I would have like to spend more time with you . I will see you in 20 years. Love you, your cousin Mark "
