Michelle,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. A friend from the neighborhood called me, tonight--it seem unreal--I was just asking you about him at the wedding. It was wonderful to be with you all, once again. I pray that God will keep you doing this time and I will see you, soon.
