Kristine, I don't know whether you remember me from school in Malden, but that does not matter; I mention it only because I think having grown up in Edgeworth in the '50s and '60s creates a kind of kinship that binds us. What matters more is that I want to convey my deepest sympathy to you and all your family. Your brother's story is a very sad one, and my thoughts and prayers will be with all of you as you move through the current pain and toward forgiveness, good memories, and peace. I know I speak not only for myself, but also for my large family; so many of my relatives have spoken to me of your tragedy with great empathy and love. I'm sure there are countless other people who are with you in spirit, far more than you know. Theresa Fucci Pease
