Dear Mr. & Mrs. Tweed,
My son Joe knew Lanie years ago; they were probably around 16. It was back when the kids used to hang out at the mall; I think Joe met Lanie through classmates of hers with whom he played baseball. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine your suffering. Please accept my sincere condolences. Rest in peace, beautiful little darling.
