Lindsay and Justine,

My grandmother, Mary, and I were so saddened to hear this news. Your family has been in our thoughts and prayers for the past two months. Lindsay, your presence and support at Bridgeport was such a comfort to me during the process of losing my father - I'm sending some of that love and support back your way. He is still, and will always be, your miracle.

Dear Justine,



I am so sorry for your lost. I lost contact with John a long time ago. I don't know if you remember me but, I worked for John in the purchasing department at Remington Arms. I know that it has been a long time ago. I also attended a party at your house for the staff of the purchasing department at Remington Arms years ago.



I just want to give my condolences to you and your family and once again I am sorry for your lost. I will keep you and your family in prayer.



God Bless
