Hi Gail,

I am glad that I had the opportunity to visit with both your and Roger the other evening. I especially liked the quiet atmosphere and the way in which you both spoke of Rebecca. You recalled some happy moments and expressed your grief about the losses that come with losing a child. I took the opportunity to share with my own eighth grade students in Lawrence and I received so much comfort, love and support from them as well as the teachers and administrators. It never ceases to amaze me how very much people will shine in moments such as these. I feel your pain because I, too, have lost a daughter. Rebecca suffers no more and sees the face of God. I am thinking and praying for you and your family each day. What makes me smile is the thought of orange snowflakes.

Love,

Lisa

To Gail and the rest of Becca's family and friends,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. As the father of one of Becca's good friends, I didn't know Becca very well, but I did see her often and occasionally had an actual conversation with her. Becca always seemed to me to be a wonderful young lady.

Again, I am very sorry for your loss.

Very sincerely,

David
