My thoughts are prayers are with your entire family. You may not know me by name, but my father-in-law is at the VVCC and my mother is friends with Gloria. We spoke at the picnic this summer and sitting at the front area one of the holiday get-togethers.

I want to let you know how very sorry I am to hear about Newell. He was having such a good time that day surrounded by all of you and I enjoyed so much our conversation and getting to know you & your precious son. He is a little doll & SO intelligent. I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing and did not know he had been sick. May the good memories of the fun you had together thru the years be of comfort to you in knowing how happy you made him. I had always wanted to meet you folks and was so glad to on such favorable circumstances. I had always heard such nice things.

Ya'll hang in there & my heart goes out to all of you. Please pass my sympathy along to Gloria as well. Thanks. Please contact me if there is anything I can do.
