April,
We were shocked to hear about losing Steve. I know we don't see or talk to each other often, but you have always been a special friend and we've always had such great times together. We will have those times again. Jake is your little man now--he sounds so mature and strong and I know you'll both comfort one another and get through this. Please come and warm up here ANYTIME you want. Much love, Lynne & Len Lacroix
