Dear Joan,
What a blessing it was the day Joanne and Darren got married. I want to thank you and Tom for accepting her as a daughter. She had suffered such a blow losing her Dad, now she had Tom. We became a large extended family, and as such we are suffering this loss with you. The two "Navy" Dads are watching with pride as we get through---never over---our loss. Love to all of you
