Dear Sheri,
All my prayers and love to all of your family on the passing of Leah. As I told you, I for one am so glad that she became part of my "family." I will miss her a lot. She did not miss a beat on "Life," and you knew she was "real." Now, I will need to find someone to give the chicken nuggets, english muffins and roast pork to....(at least this way I knew she was eating!) I know she is smiling down on us because now there is no more "stupid," Coumandin to take!!
God Bless,
Delores #38 VSS
