Dear Yvonne:
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill’s passing. My deepest sympathies are with you in this difficult time. Please know that the family is in my prayers.
Uncle Bill was such a wonderful person, and I enjoyed working for him. We always thought it was so funny that we determined we were at the same auction house the same night 30 years before meeting each other. When I told him about the first furniture my husband and I purchased which was an antique dining room set and where the auction house was located, he exclaimed, you both were there. He described the furniture and other details of that evening. He had a good memory of things that happened years before.
I will always remember him smiling and saying, if you want to feel better, just have a silver coffee.
