The last time I saw Icy was in Frank's. She had to be about three years old. Her hair and her name have always stuck out in my mind because they were both so unusually beautiful. She was always so well behaved and quiet and the look in her mother's eyes when she looked at her was nothing but pure love and devotion. I am sorry for your loss.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your daughter. I did not know her and I don't know your family. However, we share Grass Lake roots. I know there are no words to ease the pain of this nightmare. But I did want you to know that her tragic death has saddened me very deeply. My family is keeping your family in its thoughts and prayers.
