    Middleton Family,

    My sympathy to all of you at this difficult time.

    I came back home for the Fair last month and was thinking about all the good times we had with your family in the Busy Fingers. Those are very special moments in my childhood. Remember Share-the-Fun?

    Wishing good memories of Eskie to keep her alive in your heart.
