Dear Bobby and your family,
You are one of the nicest and beautiful students I have had.. You were my art student in elementary school. I am so sorry about you losing your parents. It seems so incomprehensible. It is truly a tragedy, but I know that you will be strong in your loving spirit. I worked with your mom in the PTSO at Marsh. She was very energetic, and willing to help in any way. She expressed her love and pride for you. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Even though life seems unfair, I hope you can remember the many good experiences and qualities of your mom and hang on to them in your heart. She is there with you in your heart.

I had the pleasure of meeting Liz a few years ago.She always had a great smile on her face no matter what. She was a beautiful person, one you never forget even if you meet her one time. She spoke to me about how much she loved her children and how proud she was of each of them. My prayers are with her children.
