Happy Thanksgiving, remeber when you pushed the pumpkin seeds over the edge of the porch into my flower garden? Well it has been two years and believe it or not, a pumpkin grew from those seeds this year, so I made 4 pumpkins pies with it.

I'm really sorry to hear about Chris, he was like family to me. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Remember what I have told you, he is in god's hands now and not suffering anymore. You need anything, you know how to find me. We had fun times in school with Chris and that is how we will remember him always.
