Dear Mrs. Larissa Melton,
I was deeply touched by a heart-rending photo--featured on the Boston Globe's website--of you and your daughter at the funeral. Your husband made the supreme sacrifice for his family and his country, and I, for one, am eternally grateful to him. I pray that the Lord sees you, little Aubrey, and the rest of your family through this difficult time. God bless you.
