julie3fan Posted May 7, 2015 #18 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Maybe dear grand daughter in law 2 times removed? I personally like using DH because it's one less letter than typing Bob. But then again, some of you might not know who Bob is to me, so DH works better. :-) Edited May 7, 2015 by julie3fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
