Jennifer, my thoughts, tears and prayers go to you in this time of indescribable sorrow. I truly regret having lost touch and therefore never having the opportunity to get to know your David. As you remember I lost Mary and if there is one thing I know for sure, God will see you through this very painful loss. When I left Melstone Court to return to Texas and lost touch with you and your family, I am sorry if I failed to express gratitude for the kindness, pleasure and love you and your family gave to Mary and me. I will always remember the unbelievable thoughtfulness of the Christmas decoration of our home you and family surprised us with. Even though there is an age-gap between us, if you ever would like to talk about your feeling on your loss of David, it would be my privilege to share my experience with Mary's death if it might comfort you.
