"To Uncle Bob, Doug, Mark, Christy, Scott and family, This is heartbreaking news, and I'm so sorry for all of you. I have nothing but love for and fond memories of my sweet Aunt Tiny. Every time I visited Grandma in Iowa, Aunt Tiny always found time to come and visit me there. I remember chatting over coffee and how lovingly she talked about her children and what was going on in their lives. You all took such wonderful care of her in her later years when dementia took hold--I've always thought it is a reflection of how she raised her children, that you all showed your love by taking such close and tender care of her when she needed it. I know you've lost the love of your life, Uncle Bob, and my heart hurts for you, too. Niece/cousin Vicki"
