Dear Val and family,
My heart goes out to all of you. I had the pleasure of knowing your mom well for many years growing up, as you all know, and she was a fantastic second mother. Who else would continually feed me and never once complain when all Val and I ever did was eat? I always, always admired your close-knit family. I wonder if you all know just how lucky and unique your family is.... the love you all have for each other is apparent and NOT the norm in families - your family is truly a very special one. I cannot express how very sorry I am and I can only hope that your strength in GOD will help you all through the most difficult time in all of your lives. My love and heart go to all of you. I will always remember your mom's laugh and I guess yelling at Val since we did seem to get into mischief quite a bit!!
Love you all, Lyndy (Logan) Lutz
