Dear Linda
We spent a lot of time in our teen gang telling them we were related. We kept getting it mixed up.. First cousins, second cousins..just for the final record
My grandfather’s sister Alice was your grandmother. She was Alice Leblanc. My mom Gracie and your mom were first cousins. End of story
I remember sharing some fun teen years with you and came across your moms obituary.
The old cliche ” time gets in the way” old but true
Traveling out of the past my arms around you during your time of painful loss ,if only in thought.
I wish you my best
Holding your mom deep within your heart
Paul Kapnis
