Dear Kathryn,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am so glad that I was able to meet your father during graduation weekend, and I could tell that he was very proud of you. Having such a bright, talented, and beautiful (both inside and out) daughter must have brought him great joy and comfort. I hope the happy memories you have of him will sustain you through the difficult weeks and months to come.

With sympathy and love,
Mrs. Russler
