Dear Uncle Konrad,
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
You and Shirl were a sweet, loving couple. Just seeing you two together, it was obvious that you were happy and committed to each other.
May there be a ” heaven” where we can, once again, be with our loved ones.
There is hope and comfort that we have to hold in our heart until we meet again.
All My Love to you, Annette ( Netta)♥️
