　　Dear Aunt Mary,

　　Jane and I were very sorry to hear that Uncle John died last Thursday. Mother and father stayed' with us on Saturday and Sunday, and they told us the sad news. We know that Uncle John was not well, of course, and the cold weather that we have had for the past few weeks has not helped him to get better, but the news came as a very unpleasant surprise, all the same.

　　We were most unhappy that we could not come and see you both ten days ago on Uncle John's birthday. Mother tells me that he was his old self(和过去一模一样) laughing, and full of life. This is how, I am sure, Jane and I shall always remember him. He was a good man, who was never too busy to read to us, play with us and listen to the stories about all the silly things we did when we were young. He was the kind of uncle every child loves to have.

　　We shall be at the church(教堂) on Friday, and of course we hope to see you again on Christmas with all the rest of the family.

　　With love and best wishes.

Yours
