Mrs. Perrault & Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you. I was shocked to hear of the news. We had some great times in the old days - a lot of noise when we all got together but a lot of laughter. I really care about your whole family. I know your hearts are aching but know as far as California you and your son had friends. God bless you. I miss you and I will pray for you. There is so much to say that it is hard so far away. Wish I could be there to hug all of you and see you again. Hugs, love and prayers.
