I often think about you and send you an occasional email. Just a week ago, I went to another friend house asking if she heard from you or seen you lately. I really enjoyed working with you at JEB Stuart Middle and for helping me to complete Reading Comp 6. You are awesome and full of tenancy. I thank God for allowing our path to cross. I love you and I am going to miss you. However, I realize that God loved you a lot more. To the family I will keep you in my prayers and may God bless you.
