Dear Lois,

I am not sure that you remember me, but my daughter Kellie was in dancing class with Liisa. While the girls were having their lessons, we would go out for coffee.

My heart goes out to you both and Liisa's family. I remember Margo giving her little sister a pair of ballet shoes after one recital.

My love and prayers go out to you.
