Dear Sarah, You don't know me but I knew your mother and father from the time I was your mother's hairdresser. I enjoyed them both so much and made sure we had a butterscotch candy in the dish at the register when he came to pick her up. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Charlotte Bigham
